Murals painted on the back of a building on Oak Street.
These murals have all been removed, (all but one) I noticed last week (December 2001). I hope they are repainted. I'm glad I took the photographs now.

An artistist's rendering of the oil boom days long ago in Seminole.

Polo's Mexican Restaurant

This building used to be the local freight depot. With the exception of Chicago, it did more business than any other city on the Rock Island Railroad line.

Favorite Dish: Burrito Lujosos! It is a huge portion!
