StoneWood Gaming owners Dan John and Mike Robers say they try to tell a story with the decor in their business. Old photos, beer cans, autographed guitars, vintage license plates, and soapbox derby cars that raced on Galena Avenue during the Petunia Fest in the 1980s are among the items on display. "We try to instill some local history and try to give our patrons a nice atmosphere," Robers said. (Peter Balser)
