Some New News About an Old Road.
1. CONGRATS TULSA & OKC-- Forbes has released its list of best metropolitan places to live and Tulsa and Oklahoma City are numbers 5 and 6. Not bad for an old road's legacy.
2. GOLD's BACK-- Speaking of Tulsa, the famous old Meadow Gold Sign is going back up again, and near its original location. The old site was at 11th and Lewis and the new one is 11th and Quaker. It was constructed in the 30s and was lit until the 70s. The building's owners wanted to tear the building down and the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture and others rallied to save the sign.
3. WALLDOGS COMING-- The Bloomington Pantagraph reports that the WallDogs will be coming to Pontiac, Il., to do 17 murals in June with themes of Pontiac's heritage, Route 66, the Vermillion River, Harriet Humiston and the Interurban Railroad. The city is moving other events to coincide with it including Heritage Days, Car Show and Cruise Night. June 25th to 28th will be quite the time to be in town.
Keep On Down That Two Lane Highway. --RoadDog
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.
