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, July 2019: Route 66 Rising in Tulsa, The "Mayor of Route 66," A Museum Turns 50
JULY 3-- The official dedication of the Route 66 Rising statue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Quite an impressive structure and we'll look for it the next time through.
JULY 4-- Bob Russell is stepping down at the mayor of Pontiac, Illinois. He is noted for often meeting busloads of folks traveling Route 66. So much that he often is referred to as "The Mayor of Route 66.
He cites age as a factor for his decision as he will soon be 72.
I know the feeling, Mayor.
JULY 5-- The J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma, turned fifty.
Congratulations.
Pontiac, Illinois. One City That Appreciates Its Route 66 Heritage. --RoadDog
