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.

Du Quoin, Illinois, Earns "Main Street" Designation


The State of Illinois has an excellent program aimed at the revitalization of aging downtowns around the state.

Once a town qualifies by its own efforts and organizing, they are eligible for grants. Du Quoin has been awarded said designation. This is a great use of public-private funds. If you're ever traveling in Illinois and see that the town you're entering is a "Main Street Community" you should check out the business district for all sorts of unexpected pleasures and experiences.

There is a group in place and so far restoration has been accomplished on the Grand Theater, Aaron Atkins Building, Du Quoin State Bank, and the Heritage Days Festival has been started again.
