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.

Out Drinkin' in Clinton-- Feb. 2nd


We checked into the Frontier Best Western, also on the Lincoln Highway. This motel was built in 1950, so is celebrating its 60th anniversary. It is kept up very well and has an indoor pool and hot tub, although it was unfortunately closed when we were there.

We used to always stay at the nearby Super 8 a little ways north, but the bar next door was out of business the last time we were there so we've changed the base of operations to the Best Western.

They are famous for their buffets, especially the fish fry every Friday and Saturday. Then, there is their outstanding breakfast buffet that comes along with the price of the room. If you consider motel continental breakfasts as so-so, you've got to try this one.

Within walking distance (during the summer) there are two good bars: Bonnie's and Legends.

Bonnie's is your locals-type tavern where everyone knows your name. We had mugs of Lite for $1.50. We didn't find the folks too friendly so drove across the lot to Legends which is more your sports/billiards bar. They are featuring new Reuben and Philly cheese steak pizzas which I would have liked to try but we were too full from J&D's. A pint of Lite was $1.75.
