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.

Chicago's Old-School MapQuest-- Part 4: All Street Numbers Centered Ar State and Madison
Edward Brennan was no expert on streets, but knew something had to be done about the mess. He drafted his plan and submitted it to the City Council.
The plan called for:
***Centering all street numbers on the intersection of State and Madison streets.
***Giving 1,000 numbers for each mile (but before adoption, that was changed to 800 numbers).
***Giving odd numbers to the east side of north-south streets and to the south side of east-west streets. Even numbers to the opposite street sides.
Some Good Thinking. --RoadDog
