We've always had a blast at Frannnies every time we're at the Springfield Mile and we had a great time, AGAIN.

Thank goodness they are open!!! It's high noon and we're going to the Illinois State Fair to see Def Leppard! The lot was full so we pulled in here but you can't tell they're open with the sun beaming on the windows! Saved! Pizza only but plenty of drink selections.
