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, November 2020: Atlanta Tourism, Paris Disneyland and That WW II Bomber Landing in Springfield, Illinois

NOVEMBER 24

The city council of Atlanta, Illinois, has voted to create the position of tourism development director with a salary of $20,00.  That is sure a lot of money for a city of just 1,600 people, but they know how important tourist dollars are and they have certainly done a lot with their Route 66 heritage.

Now, if they would just please get rid of the Smiley face on their water tower, life would be good.

NOVEMBER 25

More details are being released about the Cars Route 66 Road Trip section at the Disneyland, Paris site.  

Looks neat, but I seriously doubt that I will ever visit it.  I'm not a fan of those big-wait-in-a-line-forever tourist parks.

NOVEMBER 29

An interesting article has appeared about the landing of a World War II bomber on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois.

A bomber pilot made an emergency landing on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois, in 1942 and then took off from the same road after his plane was repaired.

Now I Done Seen Everything.

Check the Tires and Oil.  Clean the Windshield.  --RoadPlane
