 The Restaurant was a JB's not long before Phil Edwards arrived on the scene. However upon his visit it had become the unbranded Country Folks Restaurant. It was the building type that only is known to have existed at a handful of locations. It featured a Tower with Simple Simon and the Pieman weather vane at the center of its roof peak.
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 

Only recently converted into a Quality Inn, and having lost its JB's, time to see the old complex in near HoJo-like condition is running short. No doubt its somewhat worn circa 1980s rooms will see a makeover soon and how long will an independent restaurant survive at the location.
