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.

Young Boys Flipping Automobiles in 1918
From the December 26, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"Complaints in number are coming in to the police station, of young boys who are flipping automobiles down town and else where. The jumping onto cars is very annoying to motorists who are not responsible if children are hurt, and who yet would be blamed.
"Boys seen committing the offense hereafter will be prosecuted, says the department."
I'm not sure what exactly "flipping automobiles" was all about. Did that mean jumping onto a moving car or actually turning them over. I'm thinking perhaps jumping onto them.
