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.

Two Deaths of Road Interest--It's a Small Small World and California-Style Pizza

This past week, two people died who have had an impact on road travel.

Whether you like Disney's "It's a Small, Small World" or find the song annoying, it is still a major thing to see when visiting Disneyland (I'm not sure if it's in Disney World). Joyce Carlson, 84, died in Orlando, Florida.

She had a 56-year career with Disney and started delivering paint and brushes to the artists before working her way up. In 1964, she and others worked on creating the prototype for "It's a Small, Small World" which made its debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

When she retired in 2000, a window on Disney World's Main Street was dedicated to her. It reads, "Miss Joyce, Dollmaker to the World."

Ed LaDau, 52, is given credit for creating what is called California-style pizza which features non-traditional toppings. Sure like my pizza when traveling.
