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.

Folks Pushing US-80
Glad to see that the East Texas Tourism Association is aware of the great road they have going through their part of the country.
Last month, they had what they billed as the "world's largest yard sale" stretching from Mesquite to Monroe, Louisiana. They are trying "to draw attention to the historic route and its roadside architecture like the classic old mom and pop motels and service stations reminiscent of days gone by."
In several places, Old US-80 parallels the present US-80 including stretches around Big Sandy, Gladewater, White Oak, and Longview. Plus, many main streets in towns were also part of the original US-80.
They have a website with more information http://www.us80.com/ which features a 250 mile travel guide.
Always Good to See Folks Pushing the Old Roads. --RoadDog
