We've been on the road since Tuesday and staying in places without internet access so just learned about the loss of this great Route 66 institution today while sitting out at the pool of another great Route 66 institution, the Munger-Moss Motel in Lebanon, Missouri.
I was just thinking how great it was to be reading the May-June issue of the Route 66 Pulse which we had just picked up in the lobby, when Liz gave me the news via the Illinois 66 Association's Facebook page. Then friend Lulu sent a more detailed account.
How little did we know May 2nd when we stopped by after the Red Carpet Corridor Festival and found it closed that this would be the last time we ever saw it. I definitely would have taken pictures of it.
However, we do have some great memories of it along with the folks who gave the place its charm. the people who worked there, and, of course, Bob "The Luckiest Man Alive" and Peggy "I Have to Put Up With Bob" Kraft.
Sure Gonna Miss the Place. --RoadDog
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.
