"Yesterday (Oct. 19) a convention in Dixon of important men from four counties decided to establish a new state highway to be called the Douglas Highway. It is to start at the Illinois-Wisconsin line in Stephenson County near Orangeville, run straight south through Freeport, Forreston, Polo, Woosung, Dixon, Lee Center, Shaw Station, Mendota, etc.
"It will then follow the Starved Rock Trail from Dixon toLaSalle and then south to the southern-most extremities in Illinois.
"It will parallel the Illinois Central railway fromWisconsin to cairo. It will become the great state highway in Illinois."

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.
