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.

Problems With the DeKalb-Sycamore Electric Line in 1919
From the January 9, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1919, 100 Years Ago.
"The latter part of last week the DeKalb-Sycamore electric line had plenty of troubles, along with the snow and difficulty in running its cars on schedule time.
"Between Seventh and Eighth street a broken rail was discovered, while one car was at Sycamore, fortunately, and for that reason it was necessary to transfer passengers at the point where the break occurred. This occurred on one of the coldest of last week and was not very agreeable to the passengers, but it was one of those things encountered occasionally on any line."
