From the March 29, 2015, Chicago Tribune by Katherine Rodeghier.
Before he was banished, Frank Lloyd Wright left his mark on Mason City.
Frank Lloyd Wright was asked never to return to Mason City, Iowa. He had displeased the peole of this city by abandoning his wife and six children in a scandal around 1900.
But, before he left, he designed a hotel and a modest Prairie School home. Now, Mason City has the only Wright-designed hotel in the world which is also quite a tourist attraction
Mason City is also the "River City" in "The Music Man", written by native Meredith Wilson.

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.
