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.

Interesting Illinois High School Nicknames-- Part 4: Hoopeston Cornjerkers
Sweet corn is pulled (jerked) off the stalk. The leaves are then shucked off and the golden ears thrown into wooden wagons pulled by mules during the days of yore. This is known as cornjerking. The many workers in the field (before the advent of machinery) were known as Cornjerkers. //// Hoopeston is known as the Sweet Corn Capital of the World. --RoadDog
