Van-Tine's Smorgasbord, 1115 West Chestnut Street, Mason City, Illinois. View looks south. Illinois State Route 29 is seen in the foreground.
From an article in the January 3rd, 2017 edition of the Peoria Journal Star --
"Located at Illinois Routes 10 and 29 in eastern Mason County, VanTine's was noted for its smorgasbord. It also was noted for the conviviality of its owner, the late Dick VanTine, who kibitzed with customers and entertained them with song. The good times came to an abrupt halt Memorial Day 1996, when the restaurant building was struck by lightning and burned to the ground."
