The news stories are taken from the Route 66
MARCH 5TH: El Garces is now open for tours. It is the former Harvey House in Needles, California. The $5 cost will go toward the structure's maintenance. It opened in 1908 and is quite an impressive place. It was fenced off and in bad shape when we saw it in 2006.
MARCH 10TH: Illinois has a new Route 66 Motor festival. The Red Carpet Corridor Fest is already held yearly at the end of May from Joliet to Towanda. This June, they will also have the new Blue Corridor Corridor Festival featuring the southern part of Route 66 from Chatham (south of Springfield) to Collinsville.
Always a good idea to have a Route 66 Festival.
Good Times for All. --RoadDog
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.
