Looks like a future road trip is in order. The whole town of Pontiac is full of great Route 66 museums. Absolutely worth the trip. Plan to drive Route 66 itself for some fun roads.

Trades for $0.0001 per share on the OTC pink sheets (when it trades at all). http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=DPRK OTC markets has designated it a Caveat Emptor stock, so invest with due caution. http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/DPRK/quote
