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.

News From Along Route 66, May-June 2016: Civil War Project in Illinois, Jensen's Point Reopens

Taken from the Route 66 News site.

MAY 29--  Class project to identify Civil War tombstones in Odell County, Illinois.  A teacher-led project called Operation Gravestone has identified seven veterans graves.  I will write about this tomorrow in my Saw the Elephant Civil War Blog.  Always great to get the kids involved.

JUNE 4--  Jensen's Point, near Pacific, Missouri, reopened.  Now, if I can just make it up all those stairs for that great view.  Do they have an elevator?

JUNE 5--  So what really happened to the Blue Swallow Motel's former owner?  Ted F. Jones was a prominent eastern New Mexico rancher and owned the iconic motel in Tucumcari, N.M. for much of the 1940s and 1950s.  It was thought that he and his wife died in a plane crash.  And the mystery deepens.
