Again, Dixie Bee Line Highway started in Chicago and went as far south as Nashville. Evidently, parts ran along the Dixie Highway and part along what was called the Chicago-Vincennes Highway.
I came across a song about the road by Uncle Dave Mason who is called the first Grand 'Ol Opry superstar called "On the Dixie Bee Line (In That Henry of Mine). Henry here referring to an automobile. Uncle Dave was always against any form of modernization and sang about a Ford car driving along the new Dixie Bee Line.
Part of the Dixie bee Line also ran along the old Hubbard's Trace, or Trail which had mention of a Dixie Bee marker.

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.

The Uncle Dave Macon tune is a new one for me. Absolutely wonderful. Discovering new old roads is cool. So is discovering new old music. Discovering both together is the stuff from which new religions come.
I had never heard of him before either.
Always looking for new tunes and performers.
