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 Bicentennial, 20 Oddities-- Part 2: Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes


2.  FRIENDSHIP SHOE FENCE--  Cornell, 24503 N. 1050 East Road.

Sandals, loafers, pumps, baby booties--  dozens of pairs of shoes run alongside the Donze farm ion Livingston County Highway 28.

People are encouraged to take or leave shoes, or, just look.

The fence is the idea of Gale Donze who saw one while in New Zealand.  She also now has coffee mugs and purses, but the shoes remain the star attraction

Gale said one offering of a pair of child's ice skates came with a note saying that they had once belonged to future hockey star Bobby Hull.

That should put the Shoe fence not too far off Route 66 since it runs through Livingston County.

I've seen a few shoe trees along Route 66.

Wow, Bobby Hull's Child Skates.  --RoadDog
