Picture 9/17: Decatur in Arcola

September 17
(picture 261 of 365)

Parked right next to this mural:


Pretty neat story about how the Decatur Staleys (early version of the Chicago Bears) were scheduled to play in Arcola back in 1919...... but did not show.

More backstory on "The Game That Was Never Played" here:

Out for now......
