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, May 2020: The Buzzard on Route 66 in Springfield, Mo.


MAY 11--  It is located at 2104 College Street, on a Route 66 alignment.  What you'd call imaginative yard art, something I always enjoy seeing.  The weirder the better in my book.

It is a metal buzzard on a nest that is actually a satellite dish and nearby a sign offering "Fresh Buzzard Eggs for Sale."  Very imaginative.

It is owned by Don Wilcox who owns Wilcox Auto Trim, an upholstery ship.

The buzzard used to be on a miniature golf course, but was in bad shape but he fixed it up.  While at a farm, he saw the satellite dish and the Buzzard's Nest with those fresh eggs was born.

And, Mr. Wilcox has some other memorabilia items at his ship including a gravity -feed gas pump, an old street lamp, old bicycles,  and a Tow Mater sign he's pretty sure used to be at the  former Three Women on the Route, now Cars on the Route, in Galena, Kansas.

And, I do love creative, imaginative yard works.
