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.

News From Along Route 66, July 2016: Anyone Have Pictures of John's Modern Cabins?
** Someone in the Route 66 Digest e-mail group wants to know if someone has pictures of what John's Modern Cabins looked like when it was a business. I sure would like to see them. I'm well aware of what it looks like since I've been seeing it all these years. Worse every year.
JULY 8-- The Carlyle Motel in Oklahoma City is to become a car lot. Located at 3900 NW 39th Street. Built 1941. In 2013, the new owners replaced the classic sign.
JULY 9-- The Pony Bridge was added to the Endangered Places list in Oklahoma. It is near Bridgeport. In 2016 it was listed on Oklahoma's Most Endangered Historic Places.
It is 3,900 feet long and consists of 38 "pony" trusses. It appeared in the 1939 "Grapes of Wrath" movie.
That is some bridge.
