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, November 2018: Say Hello to the Sod Poodles in Amarillo
NOVEMBER 14-- The Minor League AA affiliate of the San Diego Padres has picked Sod Poodles as the new name of the Amarillo baseball team. Sod Poodles is another name for prairie dogs (I was wondering).
Other names in the final selection were Boot Scooters, Bronc Busters and Jerky & the Long Haulers.
The home opener at the new stadium in downtown Amarillo will be April 8 against the Midland Rock Hounds
This is an interesting name, but I don't think the name Sod Poodles will strike much fear into opponents. But, I must commend the minor league teams for interesting names, including my own favorite Clinton Lumber Kings.
Some other interesting names:
Batavia Muck Dogs
Hartford Yard Goats
Montgomery Biscuits
Richmond Flying Squirrels
Toledo Mudhens
Akron Rubber Ducks
Wichita Wingnuts
Savanah Bananas
Lehigh Valley Ironpipes
Albuquerque Isotopes (Isn't that the name of Homer Simpson's Springfield team?)
