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.

Man Passes Out On Lincoln Highway in 1917
From the May 17, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"residents on West Lincoln Highway in DeKalb spied a man lying in the grass last night about 6:30 and immediately sent in a call for the ambulance wagon, thinking the man might have been injured.
"It was found that the victim was one of booze and not an accident and he had curled around a tree alongside the road to rest for a time. He was well under the influence of liquor and it was necessary to lift him into the wagon in order to get him back into town."
Drunks in 1917? Really?
Was He A Northern Student? --RoadDrunk
