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.

The Philip Sheridan Statue in Chicago
I was writing about Chicago's and the North Shore's Sheridan Road back in 2015, and left this out. So, here it is.
From the Chicago Park District.
LOCATION: 2045 N. Lincoln Park West Chicago, Illinois
In Lincoln Park
LOCATION NOTES: North of W. Belmont Avenue and west of North Lake Shore Drive
ARTIST: Gutzon Borglum (also noted for Mt. Rushmore and Stone Mountain)
INSTALLED: 1923
Since it is not a Confederate monument, it is not likely to have to be taken down in the future. Well, now that I mention it, he was involved in the Indian Wars and Removal in the west after the war, so his statue might have to be removed now.
To check out what I had previously written, click on the Gen. Philip Sheridan label below.
