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 Novel Mode of Transportation Back in 1878
From the June 3, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1878, A Whole Lot of Years Ago.
"Quite a sensation was created in Mayfield lately by the novel mode of transportation adopted by a visitor from Dixon and one from Batavia. The Dixon gentleman and Batavia lady made a series of calls in the neighborhood, the gentleman conveying the lady from one place to another in a wheelbarrow.
"Whether this was performed under a wager, or purely for the convenience of the thing, the parties have not stated. At any rate , it was something out of the usual order, and worthy of notice."
