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, March 2019: Ariston's Neon Sign To Be Relighted
MARCH 20-- Through a joint project between the Illinois Route 66 Association and the Rt. 66 Association of Missouri, the Ariston's neon sign in Litchfield, Illinois, will be relit.
Current owners Will and Michelle Law and Marty and Kara Steffins, and the old owners, Nick and Demi Adam plan a real big to-do for the occasion, scheduled for May 4.
They received a $10,250 cost-share grant from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program.
The Ariston opened in Carlinville in 1924 on the future Illinois alignment of Route 66 and then moved to Litchfield to 413 Old Route 66 in 1935 after the road was realigned.
Nick Adams began working there, at his parents' place, in 1966 and sold it last summer. It was listed on the NRHP in 2006 and inducted into the Illinois Hall of Fame in 1992.
Quite the Place. --Roadiston
