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.

Creepy Ghost Towns in Illinois
From the August 3, 2015, Only In Your State: Visit These 4 Creepy Ghost Towns in Illinois At Your Own Risk" Laura Meli.
1. Cairo: a living ghost town which had been in an absolute boom mode from the 1800s to 1920s. So sad to see the town now.
2. Shawneetown: Now called Old Shawneetown, established 1748 by Pewoki Shownee. It was the first cultivated land in Illinois.
3. Benld, Maucoupin County. A coal mining town and an object of history when it was hit by a meteorite It is on display at Chicago's Field Museum. And, Benld is on good old Route 66.
4. Buda: a small railroad town named after Buda, Hungary.
