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.

Things That Inspired the Movie "Cars"--Part 3: Tee Pee Curios and Blue Swallow Motel
Before beginning to work on the movie "Cars" they took a ride on Route 66 for ideas. They found plenty of ideas.
Michael Wallis declared Glenrio "Death by interstate."
The terrain in New Mexico and Arizona as well as the continental divide was the most inspirational.
Tee Pee Curios-- classic
Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari-- each room had a place for cars to park in a covered spot. This influenced Sally's motel.
The Yellow Horse Indian Shop influenced the Old Wagon Wheel motel. Behind it is a cave.
The neon signs of motels along Route 66 had big influence on all the neon signs in Radiator Springs.
