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 Logs: Cafe Lotus-- Brick Road-- Lincoln Highway Radio Show Song

Lincoln Logs-- Some New News About an Old Road.


1. CAFE LOTUS-- The Nov. 14th Fort Morgan Times had an article about a unique place called Cafe Lotus, which has been included in John Fielder's "Best of Colorado" and will be in Brian Butko's upcoming "Lincoln Highway Companion, according to owner Nick Nig. Sounds like this is quite an eclectic place where the local community can use its facilities for free and live local entertainment (always better than dead entertainment) is featured. Sounds like a place to visit to me.

2. BRICK ROAD-- Hoosier Reborn in his Nov. 15th Hoosier Happenings was doing his "Lincoln Highway reconnaissance in Noble County, Indiana," and came across a curved brick section bypassed for a more gradual curve. He had pictures including one of a mailbox with the words "Old US 33 on it, another of a Lincoln Highway sign, and another if you ever wondered how they curve bricks in a road.

3. LINCOLN HIGHWAY RADIO SHOW SONG-- The good folks at American Road Magazine in their forum, have a recording of an old 1940s radio show titled the Lincoln Highway. Well, the theme song to it anyway.

You can hear it at

Worth a listen. Get your traveling shoes on.
