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.

From the April 12, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"The Standard Oil Company announces today that a filling station has been installed at Quinn & Farley garage at the corner of Fourth and Locust Streets in DeKalb.
"The oil company will endeavor to keep a good supply of oils and gasoline, etc. on hand at all times, and will make a special effort to keep a good supply of lubricating oil there."
