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.

Man Reports Marmon Breakdown in 1918
From the July 18, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"A traveling man came to the police station in DeKalb this morning and reported to the officers there that his big Marmon car was in a ditch out near the Greek farm with a broken wheel and that he was waiting for a service truck from Chicago to take care of his machine.
"His visit to the station was to notify them of his whereabouts so they would not be compelled to look up his licence number and otherwise put themselves to any inconvenience."
Wasn't That Nice of Him. --RoadDog
