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.

Route 66 February 2015

Again, these news items are taken from the Route 66 News blog.  For photos, video and much more information go there.

FEBRUARY 1ST:  Route 66 reopened from Ludlow, California and Amboy.  Closed in September because of flood damage.

FEBRUARY 4TH:  Restoration of Tulsa's Blue Dome.  An impressive building.

FEBRUARY 6TH:  Santa Monica Pier lays claim for Popeye's inspiration as being based on real-life sailor who hung around the pier.  Olaf Olson (photograph with article)  This guy sure looked like the Popeye we know.  He was described as a "local character."

Of course, Chester, Illinois, might have something to say about this.  After all, they have a Popeye statue and the pier doesn't.  Chester holds that Popeye was based on Frank "Rocky" Fiegel
