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, April 2019: Scott Piotrowski and the Coleman Theatre
APRIL 16-- Scott Piotrowski's film "158 Miles to Yesterday" is now on You Tube.It is a 20-minute documentary he uploaded from VHS.
He features two people from Route 66, artist Bob Waldmire and Frontier Motel and Cafe co=owner Mildred Baker, both of who have since died.
Scott also wrote the 2003 book "Finding the end of the Mother Road: Route 66 in Los Angeles, California." He is president of the California Historic Route 66 Association and also gives walking tours.
We were fortunate enough to meet him back in 2006. I doubt that anyone knows more about Route 66 in California and especially Los Angeles.
APRIL 17-- The Coleman Theatre in Miami, Oklahoma, is marking its 90th anniversary. They will have a special showing of the 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz." It opened in 1929 as a vaudeville venue and then made the transition to movie house.
Some famed performers who appeared on stage there: Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Sally Rand and Bing Crosby.
