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.

D. C. Cobbs in Woodstock, Il.
Interesting story about a a party place in Woodstock that we have visited a couple times, but I didn't know this bit of history about the place.
It is just off the square and owned by Daniel Hart who just completed a one-year renovation during which an original interior wall was uncovered. This was the site of the famous Stompanato's Barber Shop.
Fifty years ago, the son of owner John became involved with actress Lana Turner and was stabbed to death by the Turner's 14-year-old daughter Cheryl. I'd never heard this story before. The restaurant has several pictures of Johnny Stompanato.
The walls will be left as they are. Also, the original window openings were found and original 1940s newspapers will be placed in them.
From the November 4th Northwest Herald "Renovation uncovers Woodstock History" by Chris Freeman.
