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.

John's Modern Cabins: A Cursed Place?
In 1935, a man killed his estranged wife during a Halloween dance at what became John's Modern Cabins.
In 1938, Walter Tyler, deputy sheriff, was killed in a freak accident near "Bill and Bea's Place" just west of Rolla. This was one of the names John's Modern Cabins had before it became as we know it.
His gun discharged as he was pushing his vehicle while trying to disengage a stuck starter. The gun apparently fell out of his pocket and onto the running board of his car and went off, striking him in the stomach.
He left behind a wife and three children.
And Now, It Is Getting Halloween Spooky. --RoadBoo
