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.

That Gas Station on First and Lincoln Highway in DeKalb Finally Opens
From the July 18, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back"
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"Saturday night was the occasion of the opening of the new Ford sales and service station at the corner of First and Lincoln Highway and the Fordson tractor demonstration which was held there was largely attended during the evening.
"The Fordson was not exactly demonstrated but was on exhibition at the new garage and attracted no little attention.
They had originally expected it to open by fall 1917, so this is considerably late. Perhaps shorgaes because of the war?
