Mr G's: the house that outlasted the highway

708 LINCOLNWAY W · "for over 30 years," the house's own line

The corridor's standing house introduces itself by its endurance: Mr G's Restaurant & Lounge, at 708 Lincolnway W — a three-digit address, in town, on the old highway — carries on its own site the house line: "For over 30 years Mr. G's has been providing quality food, drink, and entertainment." The dates inside that line are this section's point: a house that opened while US 20 still ran past its door has kept its table through the bypass of 1991–92 (Transportation carries the diversion) and into the street's second life as the town's own main street. The entertainment of the house line is literal — the room keeps a stage where local bands play, the standing live-music room the Arts section's institutions test found, told once here and pointed to there. Food, drink, and a stage, at one in-town address, for over thirty years: on the directory-and-press record reached, Mr G's is the Lincolnway succession's senior house, and the town's restaurant of record.
