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.

100 Years Ago, Horse Thieves; 75 Years Ago, Stolen Cars
From the May 27, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"In these gasoline days, horse thieves are scarce and local police were much surprised when they received word yesterday to look out for an outfit belonging to Alfred Reed of Sycamore, which had disappeared Saturday."
********************************
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"A car involved in an accident last night when it left the road and knocked down fence posts and the mail box of the Cliff Hunt place just east of the city was later stripped.
"When the wrecker went out to haul in the car this morning it was found that the windows had been broken and that the car had been stripped with the radio, spare tire and wheel, three blankets, fog light, tools and other accessories having been stolen."
Not Even Safe Back Then. --RoadLeaveMyHorse
