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: Bringing Back those Old Motels, the Blue Whale's New Owners, Chicago's Central Camera and the Monterrey Motel

JULY 27--  The older motels where entrance is from the outside as opposed to down a hall are becoming popular during these coronavirus days.  You can go straight to your room and be outside after checking in.  makes sense to me.

JULY 27--  The City of Catoosa, Oklahoma, has purchased the Blue Whale property for $1.5 million.  Glad to see that happened.  That guarantees that we will still have it as it is a real neat place to see and visit.  Real oddball.

JULY 29--  Central Camera in Chicago is set to reopen in a storefront next door in September.  It was severely damaged and looted during the BLM riots earlier in the year.

JULY 31--  Monterrey Motel renovations in Albuquerque, New Mexico,  should be finished by September.  It will be turned into a higher-end hostel/boutique motel, complete with a tap room.  I always like it when a motel/hotel has a restaurant/bar attached to it.  Then you can have your cocktails and not worry about getting back to your room.
