Some recent articles concerning the Lincoln Highway that I came across.
A SMALL TOWN WITH A BIG HEART
The small Indiana town of Hannah, near LaPorte, with population of 450, sounds like a definite Hee Haw Salute to me, is planning a big to do to celebrate its 150th anniversary next year. August 8-10th have been slated for the festivities.
The first settlers arrived in 1839 and it was surveyed and incorporated in 1858. The town was hurt badly in 1958 by the opening of the new US-30 which drew people away from the old Lincoln Highway. The old Yellowstone Trail also went through the town.
A group has organized to plan the celebration which might include a car rally, race, and some sort of a bicycle thing.

CRIME WAVE ON LINCOLN HIGHWAY (Or the Case of the "Smushed" Donut)
Lancaster County, Pa., was stunned last Wednesday by the Great Donut Caper. A 39 year-old woman was arrested for stealing a donut from a grocery store at 1603 Lincoln Highway East.
The woman hid the donut down the back of her pants (Yuck!) and left the store without paying the required 44 cents. She was also arrested for an outstanding warrant for parole violation.
Police described the donut as "smushed."
From Dom's Weird News Blog. I also saw mention of it elsewhere. Risk getting arrested for 44 cents. Must have been really hungry. "Smushed?"

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
