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.

The Woman Knows Her Auto Mechanics in 1918
From the September 26, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"A couple of ladies, traveling by flivver, were compelled to stop over here the other day for gas and oil and incidentally a few repairs. The best part of the latter incident was the fact that the women were independent of any auto expert when they discovered the flivver didn't fliv.
"Instead of becoming frustrated and running about looking for a mechanic the young lady in an unconcerned manner, took a hairpin from her hair, raised the hood of the car and in a moment 'Henry' was going at a rapid rate."
