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.

Joliet is now the 4th Biggest Illinois City
Joliet passed Naperville earlier this year to become Illinois' 4th biggest city, after, of course, Chicago, then Rockford and Aurora.
It is one of the fastest-growing cities anywhere in the stateand square in the sights of the Chicago-sprawl.
For years, Joliet has been considered a victim of the rust-belt, with loss of jobs, deterioration of the infrastructure and downtown, along with dangerous streets. The city has turned a corner and is enjoying a renaissance centered on the gambling boat, the Rialto Theatre, and Route 66.
They have an excellent museum which features its Route 66 and Lincoln Highway connections. Plus, there are 66 celebrations and street art.
Definitely Good News to Hear. Congratulations Joliet, One More Great Place to See on 66. --RoadDog
