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, December 2018: Sonrise Donuts Sign in Sptingfield, Illinois
DECEMBER 12-- Sonrise Donuts sign in Springfield, Illinois, is being auctioned off. The sign is nearly 70 years old and very striking. The building it sits atop in a non-doughnut tenant and no longer wants it there as people keep coming in asking for you-know-whats.
One side of it is now at $3,000 and the other at $2,500.
The sign, located at 1101 S. Ninth Street (Route 66 alignment) has been off for many years.
Sonrise Donuts closed in 1998 after the death of long-tern owner Don "Donuts" Greenslade. Sonrise opened in 1947 by Byron Figuera, who bought the sign two years later.. Greenslade was a former employee, bought the business in 1967 and at one point made over 400 varieties of donuts a day.
The sign shows a rising sun with the words "SONRISE DONUTS Famous For Coffee Bar."
