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.

Driving in N.C. During World War II

From the July 17, 2012, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Back Then" by Scott Nunn.

Wilmington, N.C. was an important arsenal for the war and coastal areas could come under attack by German U-boats, known to lurk off shore, especially in 1942.  Besides gas rationing, Wilmington-area residents had further restrictions.

JULY 10, 1942:  Brigadier General P.A. Wethered of District 2 Interior defenses announced that motorists along the coast could drive any time of the day or night on unrestricted roads as long as they followed regulations, including a nighttime speed limit of 15 mph and use of parking lights only.
