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.

Paul's on 66? Is on 66

By now, it is apparent that Paul McCartney and his new girl friend are taking a month-long trip, part of which is on the historic Route 66.

The Route 66 e-mail group on Yahoo has been following his trip.

Member Carolyn Hasenfratz of the group said that Paul once said that his song "Helen Wheels" is supposed to br the British version of Route 66 and he mentions several British places,

Another member has done a good job putting Sir Paul's (as they are referring to him) trip in words to the tune of "Band on the Run." Pretty impressive.

In Oklahoma City, the couple ate at Nonna's Euro-American Ristorante and Bar. In Amarillo, they stayed at the historical Skirvin Hilton where they met a Beatle fan couple who even named their 4 month old son Jude. Paul played the harmonica for him but didn't want pictures taken.

In Tucumcari, they spent an hour at Things antique store (should have been the Tepee). They also got take out from Del's Restaurant.

Here's Hopin' for a Route 66 Song on Paul's Next Album. --RoadDog
