The land behind Roberts Town Tavern, most of it a right-of-way belonging to Norfolk Southern Railway, is viewed here looking south to U.S. 127 from East Logan Street in Celina. The land is often used by motorists as a way to bypass the intersection of Main and Logan streets. The city plans to lease the land for $1 a year and close traffic access to it.
