Former Farmers Roost Tavern west of Leaf River, at intersection of IL Rt. 72 and Mt. Morris Rd. Milwaukee Railroad in the foreground. This photo is facing south. To the left of the tavern building was a cemented area that could be used for dancing etc. The buildings were removed when the corner was redone by the state. Several bad accidents at this corner.

At the time of this picture the tavern would have been under the name of Pottsville and later became the Farmers Roost. Just before being demolished by the state of Il it was called AJ's Good Times Bar.
