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.

Le Tub in Hollywood Beach, Florida

This is one of the most unique, eclectic places you'll ever go to for a meal and drinks. Located right on the Intercoastal Waterway you have the views and DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING FANCY. Ya Ain't Gonna Get It.

Fine dining it isn't. Good times it is. The owner says it was originally a Sunoco gas station that opened Nov. 2, 1959 and was forced to close during the 70s energy crunch. He bought it in 1974 and "built it totally out of flotsam, jetsam, and ocean borne treasures gathered daily over 4 years of daybreak jogging on Hollywood Beach."

There are plants in every imaginable container, including bathtubs (hence the name) and toilets. Don't be fooled by the gulls and buoys bathrooms.

As far as food, I can't vouch, but we have spent many an evening imbibing there. You've got to see it to believe it.

I checked out a travel site and quite a few people were not happy with the place since it made the #1 burger list on GQ's top twenty. I hope this new-found celebrity hasn't gone to their head. They also claim to have become famous with their chili.

Hollywood Beach is located between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
