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.

The Wall Replica
The replica Wall is three-fourths scale and 375 feet in length. It stands 7.5 feet tall at its tallest point at the apex. Visitors experience The Wall rising above them as they walk toward the apex.
The wall replica is constructed of Avonite, a synthetic granite and its 140 numbered panels are supported by an aluminum frame.
Machine engraving of the 58,000 names along with modern LED lighting provide readability of The Wall day and night.
Names are arranged in order of date of casualty and alphabetically on each day, beginning in the center.for the earliest deaths.
