Some New News About An Old Road.
1. DINER FINDS HOME-- There has been some discussion of the Yahoo Route 66 group saying that the Krafts, who still own the property the Riviera was on, have given to old diner that has been restored and sits behind their former restaurant to the City of Gardner. Now, the problem is moving it.
But, at least it will still be with us.
2. TATTOO MAN-- There was a great article and accompanying video from the Oklahoma City Oklahoman about our favorite black and blue kinda guy, Ron Jones. Old Ron has 86 tattoos on his body, 84 of which are about our good old Route 66.
I guess all that pain and expense should warrant some publicity. Congrats to you, Ron.
3. TOWANDA ACCIDENT-- Sad to hear that seven people were injured in a fireworks accident in Towanda, Illinois, on Route 66 north of Bloomington-Normal.
Definitely not a good way to celebrate the 4th.

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.
