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: Springfield, Illinois Pushing Route 66
News from Along Route 66.
DECEMBER 23-- Springfield, Illinois, is developing a larger plan for 66 tourism. The recent purchase of the Sonrise Donut sign is part of it. They are doing this with an eye toward the 2026 Centennial Celebration of the Mother Road.
The sign is being restored by Ace Sign Co. of Springfield.
I'm thinking they probably have enough old signs by now that they might be able to open a museum of their own.
Of course, the city missed out greatly when they didn't acquire Bill Shea's place, but the opening of Motorheads, south of town is a step in the right direction.
