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.

A Paved Road Between Sycamore and DeKalb in 1917
From the September 13, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"The large cement mixer to be used in the work on the cement road from the C, M. & G. crossing around the Electric Park corner and the pavement of Sycamore started work today and from now on the road will gradually near completion.
"When this road is finished that is now in course of construction there will be practically a paved street from Sycamore to DeKalb and it will be one of the best improvements imaginable."
That road is Illinois Highway 23 today.
