Carthage, MO --- The Boots Motel in historic Carthage is for sale
and in possible danger of becoming a parking lot.
Well, not necessarily a parking lot, but another chain drugstore or restaurant
which wouldn't be much different to a roadside or Route 66 enthusiast.
The Boots Motel has been well known for years as a fine lodging establishment
located right on the Mother Road with good hospitality, a historic motel
that's been well taken care of, and a fine neon sign to boot.

It's time to support the Boots Motel and the Friends
of the Mother Road preservation organization towards saving this roadside
treasure from becoming yet another wrecking ball statistic. Please see

Motel Action Alert website for details on how to help.

Let's not let the Boots Motel become like the Finn's Motel marquee...
just a memory.
Many thanks to Ron Warnick of the Friends of the Mother Road preservation
organization for alerting us to this alarming news.
