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.

Route 66 Backer Retiring in Joliet, Illinois
After serving Joliet for 21 years as deputy city manager, James Shapard, 62, will be retiring December 31st.
He was a lead person at City Hall in getting the formation of the Joliet Area Historical Museum and involved in the decision to create a Route 66 Welcome Center in it. As we know, Joliet has done a great job with its Route 66 heritage.
He was involved in getting the Joliet local sports Hall of Fame at Silver Cross Field.
In the military, he was a captain and worked with explosives and even nuclear weapons.
Let's Hope Mr. Shapard Continues Pushing Old Roads Like Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway. --RoadDog
