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: Seeing Buzzards and the Jack Rabbit Reopens
MAY 11-- See the Buzzard on Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri at 2104 College Street, a Route 66 alignment through town. You'll find our fine-feathered friend on a satellite dish nest with a nearby sign offering "Fresh Buzzard Eggs for Sale." Wonder how many of them would make a good-sized omelet?
Old Buzz is owned by Don Wilcox who owns Wilcox Auto Trim, an upholstery shop. Old Buzz had been on a miniature golf course, but had fallen on hard times until Don's daughter fixed him up and painted him (her?with the egg thing).
Don has other memorabilia as well so sounds like one of those "new" things we gotta see on the Mother Road.
MAY 12-- The Jack Rabbit Trading Post reopens after being closed for 46 days because of you-know-what. It is near Joseph City, Arizona.
It was quite an emotional reopening as filmed by co-owner Cindy Jaquez.
