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, May 2020: Those Funny Grizzly Bear Cubs in Arizona and Looting at the Historic Central Camera Store in Chicago
MAY 29-- Bearizona takes in three grizzly bear cubs from Montana. Their mother was killed. Make sure to watch the video on You Tube "Baby grizzly bears at Bearizona!" by Traviatablues. Not many animals in the world have more fun than near cubs, unless its river otters.
MAY 31-- Historic Central Camera looted burned and burned by Black Lives Matter demonstrators in Chicago. It is located at 332 S. Wabash and has been open since 1899. It has that wonderful old neon sign outside it.
The store was originally at 31 E. Adams Street on Route 66 before moving around the the corner to its present location in 1908.
Owner Don Flesch is the 3rd-generation owner. I wrote several posts about this store in my Civil War II blog on August 5 and 6. I have not heard if it was damaged in the most recent round of Black Lives Matter riots in Chicago in August.
It was first looted, then set on fire as many downtown stores were likewise damaged and looted in the wake of the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis. They even hit the iconic Macy's (old Marshall Field store).
