Some New News About an Old Road.
1. IOWA MOTOR TOUR-- From the August 25 Denison Bulletin Review. There were quite a few articles on the recent motor tour which Liz and I were lucky enough to be able to attend. The Denison paper reported that the tour would stop between 10 and 11 AM and tour the Donna Reed Theater and visit Remey's Soda Fountain. The vehicles, many of them of the classic variety would park in the Hy-Vee parking lot.
Highway 30 merchants held Highway 30 Days in conjunction with the visit.
2. IOWA ARTS FESTIVAL-- 30 local and regional artists will be holding a show in Mt. Vernon next weekend on September 26th along Main Street, the Lincoln Highway from 9 to 4. Mt. Vernon is one of those classic American small towns located just east of Cedar Rapids.
3. TOO BAD FOR DEKALB'S CORNFEST-- Two years ago, Cornfest in this Illinois town was moved to the local airport because of road construction on the Lincoln Highway. Before it was always held downtown. It was once again held at the airport and its my guess it will continue to be so in the future.
Too bad, having it downtown with all those historic buildings was wonderful, but, alas, no more.

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.
