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.

3. CEDAR DOWNS RACING DERBY-- SANDUSKY, OHIO: A 1922 carousel that can reach speeds of 15 mph and rare sliding operation in which horses move forward and backward giving a race sensation. The only other one is in Rye, NY. Giddy-up, Go.
4. CRESCENT PARK CAROUSEL-- EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND: Opened in 1895 with 66-figures and was said to offer the "Total Carousel Experience" with music, beveled mirrors and glass jewels.
