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.

Along 66, July 2018: Albuqueque's El Vado Motel Has Grand Reopening
JULY 22-- El Vado Motel's Grand Reopening in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Took place July 20. It has become an $18 million redevelopment with a 22-room boutique motel, events center, shops, restaurants and a pub.
Irish immigrant Daniel Murphy opened the El Vado Auto Court Motel in 1937. I was listed on the NRHP in 1993. Closed in late 2005 and its future was in jeopardy as the new owner wanted to bulldoze it.
The city seized the property a few years later.
It has a neat old neon sign. Always happy to see an old motel saved as we continue to lose so many.
