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.

Anita King and Her Kissell Kar: 1915 49-Day Drive from Hollywood to New York City
Back in 2015, I wrote about Kissell Kars and this woman. I had done further research in Wikipedia on Anita King.
August 14, 1884 -- June 10, 1963
American stunt driver, actress and thoroughbred racehorse owner. In 1915, she made an unaccompanied 49-day auto drive from Hollywood to New York City
Born Anna Keppen to German immigrants in Michigan City, Indiana. Her father committed suicide when she was 12 and her mother died two years later. She was an impoverished orphan along with her siblings.
In her late teens she moved to Chicago. There, the attractive girl found employment doing modeling and acting minor parts in the theater.
Kind of an Amelia Earhart. --RoadDog
