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.

Lincoln Log- Paved Street in Fulton, Illinois

From a November entry in Nancy Kolk's "Glimpses of Fulton", Illinois blog.

The September 17, 1915 Fulton Journal announced that bricks had arrived on the railroad and would soon be laid from the corner of 9th Avenue along a block of First Street.

A three hundred foot 4 inch concrete foundation had already been laid and allowed to harden for 48 hours. Two inches of sand would be placed on top of it, and then the bricks installed.

The bricks were Purrington standard, 9" by 4" by 3 and a half inch thick.

I'm not sure if First Street was the Lincoln, or if this brick road still exists (perhaps covered over by asphalt now).
