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.

The Swastika Trail (Illinois)
From RootDig.com Swastika Trail and Old Highway Map.
I came across the name of one Illinois road back in the 1920s as being Swastika Trail. Of course, I had to do some further research, but was unable to come up with much.
From the Illinois Digital map Collection. 1922 map.
Back in 1922, highways did not have numbers as they do today. They had names.
On the map, Swastika Trail ran through the towns of Wapello, New Boston, Joy and Aledo, south of the Quad Cities.
This is now Illinois Highway 17.
