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.

In Honor of Veterans Day: National Veterans Art Museum in Chicago
On November 10 and 11, I wrote about five places you should visit in honor of our veterans in my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog.
From Wikipedia.
I had never heard of this one.
The National Veterans Art Museum was formerly the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum and is located at 4041 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Six Corners neighborhood. Originally just for the Vietnam War, it now encompasses all wars.
It was originally a traveling exhibit, but when Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley saw it, he insisted Chicago have its permanent home. The entrance hall had 58, 226 dog tags hanging from it, one for each American killed in Vietnam.
There are nearly 2,500 works of art in the museum.
