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.

Have Fun at Burr Ridge's Route 66-Themed Playground-- Part 2: The Sears Tower Again

Your journey on the playground starts along a tiny version of The First Hundred Miles where kids can scale The Tower -- a multi-tiered jungle gym that's festooned with faux steel girders and radio towers, looking like a certain iconic Chicago structure near the start of Route 66.  (You think it might be that tall bulding that used to be called Sears Tower?)

The Tower, which is one of the park's most detailed showpieces, allows kids to climb to the "utilities system" of the building (in reality, the lowest tier of the jungle gym of the jungle gym), where they can spin simulated water valves and activate mock, oversized electrical switches.

The next two levels feature slides decorated with local interstate signs. One modest-sized slide is perfect for any younger kids, while the second slide provides a more thrilling experience at nearly triple the length and double the height.

And I Still Refer to it as the Sears Tower.  --RoadPlay
