1. DOG'S GRAVE MARKER MOVED TO ROUTE 66 MUSEUM IN VICTORVILLE, CAL-- The gravemarker for Brownie was moved. During WWII, Brownie greeted soldiers coming home from the war.
The marker had been in Forrest Park, but that is being torn down. It has become a dangerous place.
Brownie was just a stray dog who showed up one day at the train depot and never left. Railroad employees "adopted" and cared for him. He was a smaller, tan mutt. Everyone coming through stopped and played with him and I'm sure on a few occasions, was fed.
Quite a human interest story. From Route 66 News
2. EDWARDSVILLE ROUTE 66 FESTIVAL GETS WEBSITE-- The Edwardsville-Glen Carbon (Illinois) Chamber of Commerce now has a website for its annual party in the park celebrating the Mother Road.
This is the 12th festival at City Park and will be held June 13th-14th.
Noted Beach Music performer Bob Kuban of St. Louis will be playing his big 60s hit "The Cheater" and other oldies on Friday night.
Keep on Down that Two Lane Highway. --RoadDog
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.
