Guest roadmaven@aol.com Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 A fixture along US 40 on Indianapolis' far eastside for more than 50 years will go by the wayside this summer to make room for a "much needed" strip mall. The Drake Motel is one of the last motels along 40 in Indianapolis that serves as a reminder of what was once a major cross country route. Like many of the motels in the area, it was doomed as soon as Interstate 70 opened 2 miles to the north in the 1960's. For many years, the Drake's "No Vacancy" sign has been lit, as it has served only weekly and monthly rentals. There is (or was) a Drake Motel on 40 in Springfield, OH that used the same sign as the one in Indianapolis.

Guest Mike Ward Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Denny, I believe I probably have one of the same "Paved Road Atlas of the United States" you have, except mine was distributed by the Milwaukee Journal Tour Club. It was also compiled by the George F. Cram Company of Indianapolis. Mine has no copyright dates on it either but also has the mixture of the pole marker legend as well as the "correct for the times" federal road numbers. The cover of mine is 8 X 11 3/4 inches but immediately opens to 15 3/4 X 11 inches, and shows "logs of transcontinental federal highways" including the incorrectly listed Highway 60 from Chicago to Los Angeles. Does this sound like what you have? Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Denny Gibson<mailto:denny@dennygibson.com> To: <mailto:AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 6:44 PM Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Numbers Game - atlas question. Jim Ross's excellent article on the birth of nationwide highway numbering provided both information and a chance to ask about an atlas in my possession. This certainly qualifies as a Mike Ward question but maybe some others have comments, too. There are no dates on the atlas and only a couple of names. The front and back covers indicate that it was given away by the Kansas City Journal-Post. I believe that I've seen photos of similar looking atlases from Rand McNally. Undated copyright notices refer to the George F Cram Company of Indianapolis. Now the good part. Maps are "With New Federal Numbering System" plus the "Pole Markers" for 32 "Named Highways" are shown. The route from Chicago to L.A. carries the "Federal Road Number" 60 and "Federal Road Number" 62 goes through Kentucky. Clearly, the atlas comes from around 1925-26 and shows that the switch from names to numbers did not occur instantly. Can it be dated even more precisely? Were these "mixed-mode" maps common? The atlas is a great "time capsule" with a glimpse of the name to number transition and the general state of roads (paved roads are marked and there aren't many between Kansas City & California) and laws (Mississippi required 1 red tail light, over the line you needed both red & white in Louisiana, but either red or yellow was alright in Texas).

Guest lonehichillbilly@aol.com Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 HAPPY BIRTHDAYJIM, Good lookin' sign. Tell Shellee she did good...LOL. I'm sure you already have. I like the cabin too. Do you have the inside decorated yet? I'd like to see pics of that too. I have a 12x20 building out back, that started out to be storage for my motorcycles, and lawnmowers. Now, it's ended up being a bar / motorcycle shop / place to hang some of the junk I've collected over the years, etc. I like spending time out there. I can work on projects (I have many), watch satellite TV, or movies, and later...have a drink if I want to, all in safety of the back yard...LOL. I have it decorated with old beer lights, licence plates, metal signs, flags etc. Jim L. N. Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the west side of that alignement there > is an old Motor Court > Lulu Right on, Lulu. '66 actually crosses herself 3 times within a very short stretch in this area. Going west, almost immediately after passing through Hooker Cut "new" '66 (Portland cement 4 lane) crosses the 20's alignment. A left turn here takes you past the Elbow Inn and across the 1923 steel truss bridge. If you don't take this turn and continue west up the hill on the 4 lane you cross the 20's alignment again and this is where the motor court you mention is on the right side of the highway. That particular alignment crossed current I-44 and then curved west (the pavement is still there and is awesome) past an existing truck stop, curved south, and then joined the 40's '66 alignment again with a right turn (west). This was and still is a 2 lane alignment. Question to ponder....why was '66 a 4 lane highway for such a short distance and then funneled traffic into a 2 lane highway? 'Ya gotta love it.

Guest airfrogusmc Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi everyone, I kinda found ya by accident but I'm glad that I did. I have traveled 66 several times. The first time was in I was about 6 years old (1961) with my family. Took a 3 week road trip in 1992 and a shorter trips in 94 and again in 96. Just did Illinois in 99. Traveled the route through Carlinville (Illinois 4) and found the old brick sections. In 94 and again in 2001 was at the base of La Bajada (New Mexico) wishing I had 4 wheel drive. I'll try and post some photos in the near future if anyone is interested. Remnants of the past are vanishing rapidly. Santo Domingo trading post burned down a few years ago as did Pop Hick's. When ever I have time I try and explore old highways. I've taken 41 from Chicago to Copper Harbor Mich. Next big road trip will be 61 to New Orleans. And advice on where to find old maps to follow the old two lane sections? Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roadmaven@aol.com Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Allen, Welcome aboard! It sounds like you're quite the diverse two-lane warrior, which American Road is based on. Nice to see you mention Copper Harbor, MI. I was there in '85 with my parents on a week long Great Lakes road trip. That trip really is what got me going (as a mere 17 year old) on motels, cafes, and two lanes. It doesn't get much better than a drive on the Brockway Mountatin Drive, does it? SIDE NOTE: For those out of the know, Copper Harbor is at the northern terminus of US 41 in the extreme U.P. of Michigan, darting out into Lake Superior. Here's a link to some pics: http://community.webshots.com/album/51759342atAcIq As for old maps, you can try some antique shops, flea markets, and the like. But your best bet might be eBay. We look forward to you swapping your road trip stories with us! Regards, Pat Bremer American Road List Host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
