These news items are taken from the Route 66 News site, which goes into much more extensive detail. I just write about the ones of special interest to me.
MARCH 4-- There was deep background on the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona.
** Closed for almost seven years (1980-1987)
** Had problems getting people to stay in it when it opened in 1950 because of competition from the many other motel;s and hotels in Holbrook.
But I doubt any of them could be more unique.
We were disappointed that we arrived in Holbrook way too early to stay there during our 2006 drive across all of Route 66. The same thing happened to us at the one in California.

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.
