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, August 2018: National Trust for Historic Preservation Route 66 Tour Ends
AUGUST 16
The National Trust for Historic Preservation's month-long Preserve Route 66 trip to drive up Congressional support to declare Route 66 a National Historic Trail has ended.
They collected more than 58,000 signatures, made 232 stops and spent 50,400 minutes on the Mother Road.
More Stats for the trip:
** Used 380 songs on Spotify playlist
** Collected 35 postcards, 22 magnets, 8 cacti and 4 figurines. These figures seem rather modest for a souvenir haul.. I can do that by myself in just the state of Illinois.
** Highest temp was 113 degrees Lowest was 52 degrees
** There were several dozen stories about the tour in newspapers, magazines, radio and TV.
