The intersection of Main and Main

Facing south on 299 / Facing southwest (3/23/02)

Notice the yellowish-white garage in the background of the left picture, which also shows up in the right one. But if I'm facing south in the left picture, and the street sign is at the southeast corner of the intersection...The "N" and "S" are reversed!

Facing northwest (7/7/15)

That's pretty much all of New Providence's business district.

The building on the northeast corner of the Main and Main intersection was still a bank in 2002, but a decade-plus later was not.

Facing east on D55 (3/23/02)

This is just a block or so east of Main and Main. West of 299's end, S57 (although unsigned) goes west on Main for two blocks and then turns south. No county road signage was present at either end of 299 prior to decommissioning. The absence of signage for the D55 multiplex in what was 299's southernmost mile was not signed after decommissioning.
