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.

Charles and Irene Custer's 1950 Trip Across America
From yesterday's blog entry.
The pictures were developed again after some 70 years after they were taken. They took the pictures with an Agfa box camera which gave a whole lot of detail. The pictures were taken on a working honeymoon trip in 1950.
Noted Route 66 personality Michael Wallis compares Custer's pictures with those of Great Depression photographers like Dorothea Lange.
There, unfortunately, are no captions or identifying information and it is hoped people looking at them can help identify. It appears the batch shown in the Sun-Times was from Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Well Worth Checking These Pictures Out. --RoadDog
