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.

Along 66, April 2018: The Mill and The Cop
These stories taken from the Route 66 News site which goes into greater detail and even has pictures. I only write about the ones I am most interested in.
APRIL 30-- Recollections of the early days of The Mill. Four people who were there when the Blue Mill opened in Lincoln, Illinois, had their stories told in a 2007 interview by Geoff Ladd. Included are the stories of Robert and Norma McAfee.
Looking forward to seeing the newly reopened, well, a year ago, Mill while on the Route 66 Association of Illinois Motor Tour two weekends from now.
APRIL 30-- Longtime Illinois state trooper Chester Henry died at age 86. He served 1957-1984 out of the Illinois State Police District 6 headquartered in the art deco building that looked like a pistol when viewed from above in Pontiac, Illinois.
He wrote a book, "Route 66, My Home Away From Home" and was inducted into the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1993.
Sure Will Be Nice When They Find A Way to Do Something With That Building. --RoadDog
