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, October 2019: Chatham Road Bridge in Illinois and 66 Drive-In in Carthage, Missouri
These articles come from the Route 66 News site, your place to go for any and everything you want to know about what's happening on Route 66. I just write about the ones I have the most interest in. The site has many more articles, almost always one a day and goes into much greater detail. Check it out.
OCTOBER 5: Springfield Illinois' City Water Light and Power company made quick work covering up graffiti on the Chatham Road Bridge. The span dates to 1919 and is also called the Old Chatham Road bridge over Lick Creek in Chatham, south of Springfield.
It was closed in 1989 after the new Illinois Hwy 4 bridge was built. It once carried Route 66 traffic south of Springfield.
OCTOBER 10: The 66 Drive-In theater in Carthage, Missouri marks its 70th year at the site. It closed in 1985 but reopened in 1998.
And, so glad glad to have it.
