We drove back to Missouri Valley and got a room at the Super 8 out by the interstate and then went downtown to check out the nightlife, well, early evening life.
We went to a local bar called Duffy's. Since mostly locals frequent the place, they figured we were traveling through and the bartender and one customer immediately asked why we were in their fair burg. They said we had just missed some more Lincoln Highway folk.
The customer brought us the first round. NOW, that's some kind of friendly small-town America. We enjoyed the patter back and forth between the barkeep and customer, who was claiming she was keeping him there by buying him drinks.
More people came in. If you're looking for a nice friendly Cheers kind of place, this be the place.
We had seen a bar by the motel called the Edge, so went there. The less driving I have to do after a few drinks, the better, especially in a different town that I'm not familiar with.
Much bigger place and more people. Again, very friendly bartender.

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.
