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, Oct. 2018: Illinois Route 66 Centennial Commission
OCTOBER 24-- Nominees sought for Illinois Route 66 Centennial Commission.
This summer, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed the Illinois Route 66 Centennial Commission bill into law.
A panel is now looking for 3 people to fill available sears on the commission and one to lead it. People can nominate themselves.
State Representative Tim Butler (R-Springfield) introduced the bill and shepherded it through the General Assembly.
Eight members of the commission will be selected by the Senate and House majority and minority leaders.
The Route 66 Centennial will be celebrated in 2026 as the road came into being, as well as the new numbered highway system in the United States, in November 11, 1926.
Sadly, Route 66 lost one of its biggest fans when Governor Rauner was not reelected in November.
Hey, I'd like to be on the commission, but John Weiss definitely should be.
