In yesterday's Looking Back, I wrote about an auto accident in Elva, Illinois, near DeKalb. I have never heard of this town.
ELVA From Wikipedia
An unincorporated community in DeKalb County, Illinois, about five miles south-southwest of DeKalb. It is shown on maps as early as 1892 and has a famous grain elevator and train station. Joseph Glidden of DeKalb, inventor of barbed wire, developed it and named it after his daughter. A 1910 map referred to it as Elva Station.

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.
