Day 29 to Conway, TX

In Shamrock, TX, they're missing the classic neon .  .  .

.  .  .  but they have nice murals!

Like many others of the Rt 66 era, the
motel is a motor court, Click for panorama.

This old station is now a laundry with a great mural.

This motor court is proud to be in Texas .  .  .

Lots of murals .  .  .

.  .  .  all around Shamrock, TX.

This photo only captured a segment of a long mural remembering all eight states along Rt 66.

I liked this colorful display
outside the Shamrock Cleaners "Cut & Clean".
