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.

March 8, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)
In the 1890s until World War I there was a combination of stories about building, naming roads and the "Good Roads Movement. This March 28, at the Sycamore Historical Museum, Larry McClellan will discuss them.
Before the interstates and Federal highways, roads had colorful and interesting names: The Lincoln, Dixie, Mississippi Valley Highway, Alton Way, Swastika Trail and Corn Belt Route to name a few.From 1913 on, there were 51 named highways developed in Illinois.
The talk will be at 7 p.m. at the DeKalb County Community Foundation at 475 DeKalb Avenue. Cost is $5.
