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, Nov. 2019: Sonrise Donuts Sign in Springfield, Illinois
Yep, it's correctly spelled Sonrise.
Eventually the half of the sign at Ace Sign Co. will be at a Springfield Signature Spot to m ark the city's 66 sites.
Brian Figuera established Sonrise Donuts in 1947 and the sign was put up in 1949. Don "Donuts" Greenslade, a former employee, bought the place in 1967 and at one time made more than 400 varieties a day. he ran it until he died in 1998.
Several different places have tried to open there, but none lasted too long. Liz and I did get to eat breakfast there one time (but no donuts).
No Donuts For YOU!!! --RoadDog
