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, May 2020: New Neon in Tulsa, Plus Quite the Museum
MAY 10-- New Route Historical Museum sign in Tulsa. In southwest Tulsa and one of at least a dozen restored or new neon signs in the city.
Well, neon will always attract me, but there is quite a bit to see here as well.
Among the museum's holdings:
** Restored Frisco 4500 steam engine, passenger car and caboose
** Oil derrick standing 194 feet tall and is the historic site of the first oil strike on June 25, 1901 that made Tulsa the "Oil Capital of the World."
** Route 66 village station, a tourism center modeled after a 1920s-1930s gas station. A Phillips 66 cottage-style architectural designed place.
Tulsa is one town that is certainly taking care of and pushing its Route 66 heritage.
