Photo 63-NFO-10

Comments

Gibson City, Illinois...looking northwest. That’s Illinois State Routes 9 and 47, 1st Street, running east-west across the bottom of the picture. The intersection is with Sangamon Avenue. At this point Ill. 47 turns south here. Highlights in the picture, east to west along 1st, are the John Deere dealership, the CHEKER and Kerr-McGee gas stations, and the Dairy Queen. Across from the K-M station you will see the Gibson City Inn. For a 1973 view of the same area see 1973 Photos 53-LFO-23, 24 and 25.
