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, Feb. 2019: Launching Pad Food and Neon Signs
FEBRUARY 16-- The Launching Pad Drive-In in Wilmington, Illinois is hoping to be offering a full-service menu by April. It is owned now by Tully Garrett and Holly Barker. They bought the place in 2017 after it had been closed for seven years.
It opened in 1960 as the Dairy Delite by John and Betty Korelc and renamed the Launching Pad in 1965, after the U.S. space program. The Gemini Giant also came in 1965.
Of course, this is the home of the world famous Gemini Giant.
They are offering a selection called a Carolina Dogs. Could this be one with cole slaw. And if they have that, how about some of that great Carolina 'Cue?
My biggest problem with the Launching Pad is that it is too close to the Polka-Dot in Braidwood. You can't eat at both as you'd be way too full.
FEBRUARY 17-- The Tulsa Route 66 Commission will soon begin a neon sign program. Always time for more neon signs in my book.
