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.

Thomas MacDonald "Forgotten" Road Man-- Part 4
MacDonald went to Iowa State College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts (now Iowa Stae University) in Ames, Iowa, (later on the famed Lincoln Highway), to learn road building and studied under Anson Marston, receiving a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1904. //// He wrote his senior thesis with L.T. Gaylord and it was titled "Iowa Good Roads Investigation." //// After graduation, he married Elizabeth Dunham of Ames, Iowa, and they eventually had two children before she died in 1935. //// --RoadDog
