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.

Ten Great Places to Stream Through Cities-- Part 1

Cities throughout the United States located along rivers have become aware of the tourism and commercial possibilities of them.

The August 28th USA Today had a half page devoted to ten such places.

"Rivers and canals helped great cities grow--and many are spurring waterfront redevelopment with cruises and tours. Kit Kramer, president of the International Downtown Association gave her list of great places.

1. RIO SAN ANTONIO-- SAN ANTONIO-- Probably the best-known river walk. We went to this one, but couldn't find it at first until we realized it was below street level. Definitely will go back here.

2. HUDSON RIVER-- KINGSTON, NY-- Fall foliage is special and looks like it did when the Hudson River School of painting memorialized it.

3. BRICKTOWN CANAL--OKLAHOMA CITY-- And, this city is on Route 66. We haven't been here yet, though. Name for the old warehouse district.

And Chicago has been doing a lot with its riverfront these days.

More to Come. --RoadDog
