Hog, would that be Rend Lake in the background? Grew up in central Illinois, but I'm an SIU/Carbondale grad. I loved it down there! Man, I miss it! Ever been to Ma Hale's, and if "yes", is it still there?

Aj, is that a resturant? my Wife was raised in New Burnside IL. 17 miles southeast of Marion... and this picture was taken down south further past Vienna and Cypress...Cashe River and Cypress Bottoms

Sounds like the "Darlin's" to me Russ, LOL.

Ya, it was an "all u can eat" restaurant run by alot of town folk in a little town on the east side of the Mississippi called Grand Tower.....way out past Murphysboro, the Bid Muddy, and the Shawnee National Forest. You walk in, sit down, and they just start piling plates of food on the table... fried chicken, homemade yeast biscuits, stewed tomatoes, chicken and dumplings. It goes way back to when the riverboats used to stop there. Good duck and goose hunting out in the flooded bottoms around there, too.
