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.

No Lincoln Highway Bridge Festival in Iowa This Year
From the April 17, 2020, Toledo (Iowa) Chronicle/Tama News-Herald "Still reason to celebrate Tama's Lincoln Highway Bridge" by John Speer.
The bridge is located in Tama. And, of course, we know why it is canceled.
But...
An Iowa Department of Transportation grant to pay for extensive work on the 105-year-old bridge has gained approval. The local Lincoln Highway group and the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway program of Prairie Rivers of Iowa and City of Tama have been working on putting together funding for this since mid-2018.
Cost of restoration has ranged as high as $200,000. The IDOT grant will not cover the planning and engineering costs.
No timetable for the work has been set.
If you've never seen a picture of this bridge, it is a real beaut.
Bridging It. --RoadBridge
