Route 66 // Shamrock, Texas
[previous] :: [next]i didn't see any irish people in this town.. but i only visited the 4 or 5 motels that were all owned by indians (not the american indian kind) on this stretch of route 66 before settling on the "blarney inn".. after that, i was through with crappy motels.

adam: 23rd Nov 2005 - 19:39 GMTi should mention that i was watching a tornado chaser show on discovery channel one day and they were running around shamrock a bunch adam: 23rd Nov 2005 - 20:22 GMThah holy crap. i cant believe they have a website and even better they detail shamrocks "rich history". it doesnt really sound like the town was ever anything special aside from its yearly st patricks day parade which im sure just gives the cowboys another excuse to get wasted. adam: 23rd Nov 2005 - 20:23 GMTps they say on the website that the blarney inn was remodeled.. dude, if what i saw was the remodeled i can only IMAGINE what it was like before. Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 23rd Nov 2005 - 21:16 GMTEarlier this year, my beloved and I drove from the Grand Canyon, AZ* to Boulder, CO, part of the way along route 66. It was a particularly freaky drive**, long and fueled by caffeine and sugar, it had a hyperreal, gonzo quality to it. All that wide open space spattered with half-dead towns was really odd, especially for Mitch who is a city boy and prefers to sleep in cars in camping trips. I was standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, thinking, "What a desolate place." I didn't want to be there after dark for fear of vampires. *Got some amazing photos I'll post sometime. alice: 24th Nov 2005 - 03:30 GMTi would like to add that the room in the blarney inn inexplicably had an upside-down painting nailed to the wall.
