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.

Illinois' 200th, 20 Sport Events-- Part 8: Horses and Running
14. ARLINGTON INTERNATIONAL RACECOURSE, Arlington Heights
A fire destroyed this beautiful track in 1980, but it arose again. Lavishly landscaped grounds, rebuilt track and stately new grandstand..
The track made history as the first thoroughbred course to have a million-dollar purse. This year that race is August 11 for the 36th running of the Arlington Million. But there is racing all summer long.
15. CHICAGO MARATHON, Grant Park, Chicago
Some 45,000 runners pounding the pavement each October in Chicago. Lots of spectators clapping and clanging cowbells. 26.2 flat-and-fast miles. Or, help as a volunteer.
This year the race is on October 7.
Not hardly. --RoadJogger
