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.

Angle Parking Comes To the Lincoln Highway in DeKalb in 1917


From the June 28, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"In accordance with the action of the city council at the meeting of last week, the new traffic ordinance was published Saturday in The Chronicle.

"It will be noted that the new law calls for angle parking of cars on Lincoln Highway between First and Fourth street and the same will be in effect in a short time.  In this way, the city authorities hope to eliminate all chance for accidents and at the same time allow more cars to park on Lincoln Highway during the season."

Diagonal parking definitely easier than that cursed parallel effort.
