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.

Work Continues on the Fisk-Ellwood Garage in DeKalb in 1918
From the January 31, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"The rood work for the new Ellwood-Fisk garage at the corner of First and Lincoln Highway was begun and if the weather man does not interfere to any great extent, this phase of the construction work will be pushed at a rapid rate.
"The large beams are hauled up into place by means of derrick and the carpenters quickly fasten them, and tack on other pieces."
This garage was supposed to have been finished in the fall of 1917. Possibly delays getting materials because of World War I.
