The American Profile Magazine a few weeks ago had some interesting information on some Midwest places.
ILLINOIS-- Litchfield (pop. 6,815)-- the world's largest manufacturer of football helmets and face guards is headquartered here, Schutt Sports. Founded 1918. Litchfield is on old Route 66.
KANSAS-- The Allen-Lambe House Museum in Wichita was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is considered to be one of his last "Prairie houses." It was built for Henry J. Allen, who was governor from 1919 to 1923.
MISSOURI-- the ice cream cone was named the state dessert in 2008 and was first served at the 1904 World's Fait in St. Louis.

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.
