Fire damages old cafe near Lebanon

According to the Lebanon (Mo.) Daily Record, a Route 66-era cafe near the settlement of Hazelgreen, Mo., was heavily damaged by fire early Tuesday.

The fire broke out at the Midway American Chinese Restaurant at Exit 140, off Interstate 44 east of Lebanon, about 4 a.m. and took firefighters about four hours to control. Based on the photo, it doesn’t look like there’s much left to salvage.

I doubt it always was a Chinese restaurant. But I’m drawing a blank about it. Anyone here know more about it?
