The September 22nd World of Mysteries Blog was devoted to Appetizing Architecture, meaning structures build along the roadsides to give customers an idea of what might be obtained inside.
Nice color photographs and a summary on each one, and there were quite a few.
COFFEE POT in Bedford, Pa, one of the Lincoln Highway's finest. Built in 1927 as a lunch spot next to a gas station. By 1937, it was a bar with a hotel beside it before being abandoned and falling into disrepair.
In 2003, the Bedford County Fair Association bought it for $1 and spent $80,000 to move it to the county fairgrounds where it was restored to its former glory.
Search "World of Mystery Blog September 22nd" to see the full list. Very interesting stuff that makes cruising the roads so much fun.

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.
