I'm a little slow in getting around to noting this, but local Coral Court Motel championer Shellee Graham received the 8th John Steinbeck Award for historic preservation, awarded on September 16th in San Bernadino, California. The award presentation cited Graham's "many years of bringing global recognition to Route 66 through her exception photo documentation, artwork, books, films and lectures; and for her personal efforts to preserve the memory of the famous Coral Court in St. Louis, Missouri."
You can read more about her cause (or buy a pair of "Built for Speed" panties) here.
