MAY 6-- Devil's Elbow residents determined to rebuild. Good for them. Much too pretty an area to abandon.
MAY 7-- Route 66 visitors center in Bloomington, Illinois, sees a fifty percent increase in attendance to 27,173 with its Cruisin' With Lincoln on 66.
They have come from 50 countries and 45 states.
They estimate that this increase in visitation brings $861,155 in spending to the community.
It is sure nice that Bloomington and Normal have FINALLY figured out that they should do something with their Route 66 heritage.

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.
