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.

Along 66, August 2017: Festivals, Eclipses and the Red Cedar Inn
AUGUST 16-- Birthplace of Route 66 Festival in Springfield, Missouri, set an attendance record with 53,000. Love those Route 66 festivals, but we need more of them.
AUGUST 20-- The Red Cedar Inn in Pacific, Missouri, to become a museum and visitors center. It opened in 1932. This is a place I wish we had gotten a chance to eat at, but it closed soon after our first trip through the area. Definitely will be on out list of places to visit when we drive Route 66 end-to-end in October.
AUGUUST 22-- Total eclipse of the sun in Pacific, Cuba, Sullivan, Bourbon, Stanton , Eureka and St. Clair. Hundreds had shown up in St. Clair two days before the eclipse.
That would be the place to watch the total eclipse-- on Route 66!! Too bad we didn't drive down as we sure didn't have anything here to see in northern Illinois.
