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.

7. TOM MANKIEWICZ CONSERVATION CAROUSEL-- LOS ANGELES ZOO: Classic carousel but just two-years old and consists of endangered animals including pandas, honeybees and gorillas. The soundtrack as it goes around features music of Janet Jackson, Police, Carpenters and others who recorded for California's A&M Records(one of the ride's major sponsors was Jerry Moss (the "M" in the company).
8. A CAROUSEL FOR MISSOULA, MONTANA: Local cabinet-maker Chuck Kaparich inspired the town to restore this antique carousel and more than 100,000 volunteer hours were put in to carve and piece together some 16,000 parts.
