Some New News About an Old Road.
1. PATTY AMBROSE SPEAKS-- The Oct. 25th Joliet News reported that Patty Ambrose, executive director of the Route 66 Heritage Project spoke at the Joliet Area Historical Museum about plans in the offing for the route in Illinois.
One thing of interest to the Joliet-folk was that the nation's first Dairy Queen, located on Chicago Street (Rt. 66) is no longer a DQ, but they'd like to at least restore the facade to look as it did when it first opened. I'll have a Mr. Misty.
2. MO. BLOG-- There is now one more Route 66 blog. The Route 66 Association of Missouri has their own now at http://missouri66.wordpress.com. The first entry was about the neon sign at Donut Drive In in St. Louis being lit up for the first time in 25 years.
3. COLEMAN THEATER HONOR-- The Route 66 News Blog reports that Miami, Oklahoma's Coleman Theater has been named the top tourism attraction in northeast Oklahoma. Congrats. I've been by the outside several times, but never inside. Same with Joliet's Rialto Square Theatre.

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.
