RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
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.

And, Speaking of Pontiacs...--Part 1
Pontiacs are still my favorite cars even though they are no longer made. Like they used to boast, "We Build Excitement!"
I have owned five Pontiacs in my life.
Two were bought used and three new.
1967 TEMPEST
Tan color, six-cylinder and it would fly with its 6-cylinder overhead drive. Bought it used around 1975. I used this driving back and forth to NIU when I was getting my Master's degree and it would fly down those back roads.
My hippie college prof said one day that he was cruising down the road from Madison and saw this tan car way back and withing a few seconds, it was behind him, passed and was soon out of sight.
It looked just like a poor man's GTO. Of course, GTOs were made off this model.
Wish I Still Had It. --RoadDog
