I came across an October 2nd articles on Texas' Neighbors.com "The Bankhead Highway: Marking the Historical Spot."
I had heard of the highway before and even saw that I had a blog entry about it back on September 17, 2008, in regards to Zero Mile Markers in Washington, DC. It is at the same marker where the famous army convoy across the Lincoln Highway left in 1919.
It was an early east-west coastal road US Department of Defense initiative covering 3,000 miles from Washington, DC, to San Diego.
A Bankhead Highway Preservation forum was held. They are seeking state historical designation of portions of the road in Texas.
Back in May, Garland, Texas, dedicated a state historical marker for its portion.
Leaders of the group are trying to convince other towns of the economic possibilities of the road.
Could It become Another Route 66 or Lincoln Highway? --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.
