The Dec. 27th Lisbon (Oh) Morning Journal had a photo of the historic Crosser's Diner being disassembled in Saturday's spring-like weather. Current owners Gail Beck and Paul Hammond are salvaging as much of it as possible in hopes of reconstructing it on the outskirts of St. Louis, Mo.
It is rare Sterling Model and located at 127 W. Lincoln Way and has been closed for years. Today's Lincoln Highway News reports it is now headed for St. Louis. Perhaps it will be rebuilt along Route 66 close to Ted Drewe's.
It is in "sad shape" according to Brian Butko in the Lincoln Highway News. Denny Gibson took pictures of it a while back.
It would have been better to keep it where it was, but, at least it will be preserved.

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.

That's what I'm thinking - good chance it's heading for Route 66.
