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, August 2019: Rockwood Motor Court, Springfield, Mo. and Tulsa's Meadow Gold Ice Cream Sign
AUGUST 7-- This place will be holding an open house during the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.. It is at 2200 West College Street.
It is a 90 year old rock (as in giraffe stone) motor court that was bought last year by Dannie Wright and will be featuring her restaurant Bigfoot Subs.
The motor court and restaurant opened in 1929 or 1931 and for years was Ginny Lee's Restaurant and most recently Tubby's.
Always good when a place gets saved. Hopefully they will also revive the motel as if this was the one we ate at a few years ago and asked to see a room, it was unbelievably gross.
AUGUST 10-- A video is out of the historic restoration of Tulsa's Meadow Gold Ice Cream sign. That is a neat sign.

Rockwood Motor Court, built in 1929, is about to re-open for overnight guest accommodations. I leased the motor court from Dannie in May and my husband, Tim Phillips, and I have done an extensive restoration and renovation of this authentic rock motor court. We will open in mid-November with seven units and complete the office and two more by spring. The rooms and cottages are decorated with vintage furniture and memorabilia with each having a theme from the era of Route 66. Thank you for featuring Rockwood in your blog.
