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, Jan. 2020: Meeting About the Future of the Gasconade River Bridge in Missouri
JANUARY 10-- Gasconade River Bridge Guardians meet with Missouri's lieutenant governor, Mike Kehoe.
The President of the Route 66 Association of Missouri (and also a Gasconade River Bridge Guardian), Roamin' Rich Dinkela, met with the lieutenant governor, but no definitive answer was determined. But, Roamin' Rich did say he was not told no as to its future.
The MoDOT has a "Drop Dead Date" for the bridge set at April 20. This means that if no owner is found with a plausible plan for the future of the bridge, it will be torn down.
The bridge is nearly 90 years old and was closed to traffic in December 2014 because of massive deterioration. There is now a new bridge several yards away from the original that just opened last year.
I am hoping the old bridge will be allowed to remain in place, but carry no traffic. Let it be turned into a picnic area or something along those lines.
