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 Sorry State of the Streets in 1919
From the February 20, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1919, 100 Years Ago.
"The dirt crossroads of the city were being given attention yesterday by the commissioner and the big grader, and many of them heretofore impassable, are today in good shape.
"A number of the cross streets of the city have been in bad shape for some time past and delivery men and others driving about the city were detouring rather than try to get through on some of the thoroughfares. The work of the grader has helped in some instances, and had the weather remained mild, it was the intention of the road men to give all the side streets a going over."
I don't know if this city was DeKalb or Sycamore.
