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, Dec. 2020: The De Anza's Comeback and the Route 66 Centennial Commission Becomes Fact

DECEMBER 22

The De Anza Motor Lodge wins NAIOP award for Mixed Us/Multi-Family category.

Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The National Association of Industrial Affairs Properties gave them the prize.  The old motel is now apartments whose massing, scale, color, tones and textures reflect the original motel

The De Anza was built by Charles Wallace, a Zuni trader and Indian art collector in 1939.  The City of Albuquerque closed it in 2003.  Three attempts were made to bring it back to its former glory before this new success.

DECEMBER 23 

President Trump signs the Route 66 Centennial Commission Act bill into law.

The road's centennial, of course, is in 2026.  It was Senate Bill 1014 and signed into law along with six other bills.

The U.S. House of Representatives had earlier passed it by voice vote.  It passed the senate by unanimous consent.

Hey guys and gals, I'd like to volunteer my services.
