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, Feb. 2020: Goodbye Illinois Route 66 Blue Carpet Corridor, Hello Mill
FEBRUARY 1-- The Illinois Route 66 Blue Carpet Corridor has officially disbanded. As of December 31, 2019. The reason is the growth of the Great Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau.
The group cited low attendance as a problem.
Liz and I were on the Blue Carpet Corridor Festival on a couple occasions. Some towns would have a lot and other towns absolutely nothing. It was never as good as the Red Carpet Corridor Festival ion the northern part of the Route 66.
FEBRUARY 4-- The Logan County Tourism Bureau is taking over ownership of Lincoln's Mill. The Mill is currently a museum featuring artifacts from the Mill, the Tropics Restaurant and the Pig Hip.
The first time we saw the Mill, the structure was near to falling down. But, much preservation has been done and now a really nice museum is there. We had the good fortune to know Ernie Edwards and spent time with him. Now, this place brings back big memories of him.
