You knew it had to come some time, right? Well, I finally got tired of going through the same 10,000-odd photos (after sorting out inapplicable categories) in search of one more number. So there aren’t going to be scheduled posts … Continue reading →

July 10, 2008: Norfolk, Virginia. Look at the middle shield. It is for “US 166,” which exists half a continent away. This is US 13’s first/last stoplight on this side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

May 19, 2004: A rural signing error near Lime Springs, at the west end of former IA 157. There’s no US 157, and even US 57 toils in obscurity. It was over 10 months after the Second Great Decommissioning, and … Continue reading →
