Part did become a section of the interstate and part is near it and still visible on satellite maps. I checked when I read the book but since forgot the exact location n

That’s most of it. They were also involved in some early tests on a pilot test track section where they drove thousands of vehicles on it 24 hours a day for months

The book I mentioned, “The Big Roads” goes into great detail about all of it and what your saying isn’t really true.

That’s also a myth. Read “The Big Roads” .

Yeah I messed up and got bitten by the short edit window.

Dale Earnhardt once told a story about how he and a buddy went for a ride on an unopened section of the loop around Charlotte, 485 but turns out it wasn’t all done yet. Quite a surprise when they sailed off the 14" thick concrete at high speed.

As it turns out, it's not as much of a military project as legend claims. But the rest of what you're saying has some merit. Though I'd say the idea really got started in the 20s with the WPA.

If you’re interested in a detailed history of how the Interstates came about, including the people who had the original ideas and worked decades lobbying to make it happen, as well as a good bit of the politics behind siting some of the metro sections, check the book, The Big Roads, by Earl Swift.

I guess it isn’t too bad, assuming it was truly due to initial issues and it’s fixed now. But yeah, if it keeps happening over and over, that’s definitely not reliable.

They tore down and rebuilt a Waffle House near me in an area right by two colleges. I have not been inside since they did it last year. However, while I’m sure pictures side by side would show differences, to anyone driving by it looks EXACTLY like the building it replaced. Even looking in the all glass it certainly…

Yeah, I was expecting some sort of Orgy involving at least one of the divers significant others going too far in the heat of the moment with the other partner or something.

That’s the scariest thing for me. I see the real possibility of civil unrest if this is somehow a close election like Bush Gore that drags on. I keep clinging to the fact that it doesn’t look like it will be close though.

I nominate this for DeMuro’s Carmax bumper to bumper warranty used car in 2021! Will be the best deal ever.

Saw someone on Twitter joking say it was probably an Oceans 11 type plot with two guys beefing, then setting off firecrackers to let someone else rob the place blind during the panic. I’m sure that’s not it, but it would have worked!

I still lean toward not being a shooting, but if someone used a revolver, there wouldn't be any spent casings to find as they are retained in the gun.

Especially considering they have like 200 video cameras at this mall, especially in the food court where the incident is supposed to have taken place. So far, no weapon has been seen, audio from a bystander shows one loud sound that a forensic audio engineer says he can’t say it’s definitively a gunshot or not a…

Part of it is definitely Tesla’s marketing, but it's clear the vast majority of people don't actually know what autopilot actually is and what it does.

I’ve never seen a car towed for staying over 5 minutes in a space. Maybe if they’ve done it 20 times and never paid the tickets. They make more money off the parking ticket anyway.

Only thirty something countries have more medals than he does. Since 1904.

Hopefully, enough to be careful around moving saw blades!
