The last time through Hamel, we stopped at Scotty's for lunch at the great old Route 66 veteran, Scotty's. It's a real trip back. We were disappointed to find that it was for sale (asking price $500.000). Way more money than I could afford, and I don't won't to have a bar or restaurant any way (Way too Much Work!!).
Found out April 19th at the Route 66 Association quarterly meeting in Litchfield, that it had been sold. Owner Jim Allen, who is very active in the association was there. We had the last April meeting at his place.
He said closing was May 21st. He is not sure what the new owners from Edwardsville plan to do with the place, but is going to put in a good word to continue with the Route 66 theme.
Jim invites everyone to drop in May 15th when he has his grand closing party complete with band and specials.
One good bit of news is that they are donating their famous Jackalope to the Route 66 Museum in Pontiac.
Sure Will Miss Jim and His Efforts. Thanks. --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.
