How about some Monon Grill there, Holy Hoosier Line?  Only shot of it I have is from the 1967 Boyd article in RMC on the Monon.  That issue was my introduction to modeling the Monon.

Per your wish...The Monon Grill. It was up for sale because of back taxes. Any updates on its status?

Yes.  A Greencastle real estate friend of mine is trying to buy the Monon Grill and is looking for investors to help pay for the back taxes.  He wants to reopen it as a restaurant.  Anyone interested?

PS. I'm not kidding about this.

Are all those MONON lanterns still on the premises?  If not, who got them?

Tim,

It's my understanding that the Monon Grill was completely cleaned out of all memorabilia by the family that owned it.

I sure hope it isn't lying buried in a landfill somewhere.
