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.

Building Roads in DeKalb Co. in 1917
From the May 24, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"Pronger & Fletcher, which firm completed the paving job here last year and went from DeKalb to Sandwich on a $15,000 job, has just been awarded another contract by the Sandwich Board of Local Improvements.
"The new contract is for additional work started on streets there and the firm's bid, which was the lowest, was $13,639.63. Work will be started on the new contract in about two to three weeks or as soon as the Franklin Grove work is completed."
Franklin Grove would likely be involving the Lincoln Highway.
The Good Roads Movement strikes again.
