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, October, 2020: Goodbye Yahoo Route 66 E-Mail Group and the George M. Reed Roadside Park in St. Roberts, Mo.

OCTOBER 15

Yahoo! will delete the Route 66 e-mail group on December 15.  This was once a huge and influential group to which I belonged in my early Route 66 days back in early 2000s.  I haven't posted anything in it for years, but read the updates regularly. What is left of the group is going to the MeWe platform which now has 350 members.  The old Yahoo e-mail group had 2,000 members.

All things change, but the group will be missed.

The e-mail group breakfast was always a high point of the Route 66 conferences.

It was one of the last-operating e-mail groups at Yahoo!

OCTOBER 17

Pulaski County, Missouri, has given $12,000 to St. Roberts, Missouri, so they can continue their neon park project.  This will be located at the George M. Reed Roadside Park at 228 Old Route 66 in St. Roberts.

This is one of the only two remaining original roadside parks on Route 66 in Missouri.  It is located in the median between east and west bound Route 66 and features a tank as well as picnic tables.

And, as I have said many times, you can never have too much neon.

Neon!  More Neon.  I Need More Neon!!  --RoadNeon
