Following is my entry of a much-battered xoxed sheet that was handed to me a few days ago. It purports to list a number of 'fly-in' restaurants in the near-by (as the plane flies) area. Please note that I corrected obvious misspellings, left indecipherable ones as received, and trebled the article size by providing copies sorted on restaurant name, distance, and state. Sorry, but I'm not about to translate from reference to Joliet VOR to your favorite airport, though...and as I haven't been to any of these, no personal recommendations, either...
