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: Readers Vote Tulsa as 'Capital of Route 66'
AUGUST 14-- Of the 320 votes cast on the Route 66 News site, 194 were for Tulsa, Oklahoma. After all, it was the home of the Father of Route 66, Cyrus Avery, and major proponent of the new road. And, it is one of the largest cities along the road.
And, it has really embraced its Route 66 heritage in the last 15 years and it goes without saying, it is the home of one Michael Wallis.
Springfield, Missouri, was the runner up but was beaten by a 4-1 margin.
3rd Place was Tucumcari, N.M., and 4th was Seligman, Az..
No other city was in the double digits.
Others receiving votes were Carthage, Mo., Galena, Ks., Clinton, Ok., Shamrock, Tx., Amarillo, Tx, Adrian, Tx., Albuquerque, N.M., Gallup, N.M., Flagstaff, Az., Williams, Az., Amboy, Cal. and Santa Monica, Cal..
One person voted for none, saying there IS NO CAPITAL of Route 66. It is the sum of its parts.
I Agree. --RoadDog
