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.

Chicago Wolves vs. Milwaukee Admirals-- Part 2: Souvenirs and Eatin'


I went to the game with George, Rocky and Mark, who drove.  We even had a pass for parking (which would have cost $20).  Hey, nothing's cheap about Rosemont or the Allstate Arena.  Rosemont is by O'Hare Airport.

Gates open at 6 pm for the 7 pm game, and not a second before that.  We got there at 5:54 and had to wait inside until 6.

Great seats.  We were six rows back near the Admiral player box, so great view of the rink and game.  With time to kill, I went looking at what was available.  Souvenirs were expensive, ranging from $30 for a tee shirt to $180 for a Wolves jersey (well sweater).  Since neither team is affiliated with the Blackhawks, I took a pass.  Now had there been IceHog ones I might have been tempted.

Beer was $8.50 for 16 ounces.  I really like my beer, but NOT at those prices.  There were some interesting items to eat for $8 to $12.  I found a hot dog for $3.50 (but they had the fixins: mustard, relish, chopped onions) and a small bag of popcorn for $3.  That was not much of a hot dog and a hard bun that even the fixins' couldn't help.  The popcorn was more like cardboard.
