Looking west into La Rose, Illinois. Illinois State Route 89 serves as Main Street through town. We’re looking at the intersection with W. Walnut Street. All the buildings still stand, but are a little worse for wear. The curbside Mobil station is no longer. Along the bottom edge, you will see the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio’s, former Chicago and Alton, Dwight to Washington branch. Also, note the billboard painted on the building in the SE corner of the intersection. It’s an advertisement for Geo. E. Miller Groceries and Dry Goods.
