Former Tilsons Lunch Comes Down in Howes Cave

HOWES CAVE - The road past the Animal Shelter in Howes Cave was closed Friday morning. The former Tilson's Lunch structure below the quarry finally collapsed across the road in the wind. 

Jim Newton stopped there Thursday to take some pictures before it finally collapsed, not realizing it wouldn't last 24 hours more. 

He noted on Facebook, "I've watched the building gradually disintegrate for years. Once I saw the center beam of the roof collapse this spring I knew time was growing short."
