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.

Looking Back to 1916: Car Backfires and Catches Fire

From the September 28, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1916, 100 Years Ago.

"The fire department was called out the forenoon shortly after eleven o'clock to extinguish another auto fire.  Mike Hopkins was in the act of backing out of the garage when the machine backed fire and in a moment was aflame.

"Others nearby saw his predicament and phoned for the fire fighters who lost no time in getting to their job."
