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.

A Trip to DeKalb for NIU Basketball-- Part 6: Great Deal and Mission to Boot
No charge for parking by the Convocation Center!! How about that!! We walked over to the center, stopping to pet a Yorkie puppy who was going crazy running around and up to anybody within dash distance. His owner said this is the first time he's been outside and it was a real nice early springish day for these parts in northeast Illinois. That was one happy dog.
We bought general admission tickets for the big price of $5 apiece. And, that was for two basketball games. The NIU women played Central Michigan in the first game at 1 pm, then the men played CMU in the second game at 3:30. Not a bad deal for college basketball.
The university bills this as Spring Homecoming. In addition, today, the first 1,200 fans got a replica NIU basketball jersey.
Inside, we got to see the NIU mascot, Mission, who was posing for pictures with fans. In addition, his replacement in several years, Mini Mish was there. Mini Mish is related to Mission, but not his son. Mission is nine years old and replaced another favorite Huskie (NIU spelling) Diesel.
