Guest dona Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 That means...mine is somewhere out there...on it's way. How exciting !!!!!!!!!!!!! Laurel, thanks for the printer's ink. When I was in high school, I worked at our local newspaper. Most of the work was done manually. In order, words, it had to be hand fed into the printers, stitichers and folders. dona ----- Original Message ----- From: laurelrk66@aol.com To: ; American_Road@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 6:17 PM Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] The magazine I tore open the box of American Road Magazines I ordered for Afton Station the moment it arrived today. It's just beautiful! It looks good, reads wonderfully, and even SMELLS good! (The aroma of printers' ink was overwhelming and very pleasant.) It's such a wonderfully constructed magazine, with great pictures and graphics, and stories that will appeal to roadies everywhere. I have the feeling this will be the first magazine I've ever read cover-to-cover without skipping a single word, right down to the list of staff and contributors! It's fun to personally know so many of the people involved in a publication of this quality and appeal. Congrats Tom, Jim and the rest of the staff! And now, back to reading.....

Guest airfrogusmc Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Jim, Thanks for the great map series the you Jerry put together on route 66. First time I tried to find the OLD road I was going by the Snyder book and though its a great resource it was at time VERY frustrating. The adventure was great at times. In Oklahoma his old maps were great in helping rertrace the dirt road through Geary and to the old toll bridge on the other side of the river from Bridgeport. The next time I was out west your map series was available and I found it to be a valuable resourse. One thing that I would love to see American Road do is a complete guide to New Mexico. I know that you did a series of stories in Rt 66 mag. on N.M. and the Santa Fe loop but I only have the part from Santa Fe to Laguna. I love that old loop and try and revisit it everytime I go to the area. There are some aeras that I would love to explore next time I travel that way but just don't know where to start. Like the old road northwest out of Santa Rosa. Also sections Between Las Vegas and Santa Fe. There are large sections that I have yet to explore in Arizona. I traveled what I thought at the time were the oldest parts later to find that there were old sections that I totally missed. I've also found that there are some sections even in my own state Illinois that I've missed. I found some of the old brick sections here but have yet to find the 8 ft wide sections. I found the * ft sections in Oklahoma but not here in my own state. The first time I was out in the N.M. aera I had my jeep but didn't know how to find some of the old road south of Santa Fe. The next time I was out there I found those aeras but no jeep. I sttod at the bottom of La Bajada hill and was kicking myself for not having 4 wheel drive. After reading you article in 66 mag where you drove it maybe I'm glad I didn't have it. Thanks so much for always sharing your knowledge and helping to make these road trips less frustrating.

As list Czar, I have the power to delete any message my cold heart desires, so your original note has been beheaded and sent to its grave. ;-) Pat<< Oh, being a "theologian" who has English Dictionaries, Hebrew Dictionaries and the Old Testament in Hebrew, I looked up the word "maven" and found out what it really meant. I had originally thought that it referred to a "matronly" type person; but, the definition fits Pat and what he does. In Yiddish, it is pronounced "may'-vuhn and in Modern Hebrew, it is pronounced "may-been" [rhymes with may-bean]. A maven is an expert or connoisseur.

Guest Alex Burr Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Sometime in early 1956 I was in Memphis, attending Aviation Machinest Mate school at NAS Millington. Took a gal I was dating (turned into 1st wife/ex-wife in rather short order ) to a concert in Overton Park. Feature singer of the eveing was some guy who couldn't stand still while he was singing name of, uh, er, oh yeah, Elvis. Way down on the bill, in rather small letters was the name of another singer, Johnny Cash. Man, I thought to myself, this guy sings from hunger!!! Little did I, or probably anybody else in that audience, know where that one was going with his career!!! Safe journey home, Big John - June's a'waiting for you over the hill. Thanks for all the great years we had listening to your great music.

Several reports I saw indicated that Johnny passed at 2 a.m. Friday in the hospital of complications from diabetes. And he had a host of other ailments on top of that -- glaucoma, that nervous system disease that plagued him, asthma and probably some other things I can't recall. I swear, he looked bad back in 1996 during his "Unchained" album, and to stay alive as long as he did -- especially after June's death -- had to be an act of sheer will. A writer of which I know in Nashville talked to Marty Stuart, who's part of the extended Cash family. Stuart said that in the past few months, a couple of buzzards took up residence in a tree near the Cash home, staring at Johnny. Of course, Johnny simply stared back at them. And I'm sure a few folks might think Johnny Cash is off-topic from American Road's purposes. I couldn't disagree more. Johnny Cash made some of the best damn road music around (get the two-CD "The Essential Johnny Cash" that was released last year if you don't believe me -- and if anything, it's not long enough). Some of my fondest memories is of hearing Cash's "Understand Your Man" on an old Tulsa AM radio station while cruising Route 66 in eastern Oklahoma.

Guest Alex Burr Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hmmm - wonder if that's part of that scheme to run an interstate down the eastern side of the Mississippi River thru the NW corner of Memphis, burying part of U S 51 - and by-passing the rest. The plan is that such an interstate would either cut thru the NW corner of Memphis and connect with 40 in downtown Memphis, or swing a bit east and connect with I-40 east of Memphis. There is still movement afoot in Memphis to cut I-40 thru the heart of Overton Park in the middle of town - they keep inching toward it every year. Overton is a beautiful piece of park, similar to Central Park, with the Memphis zoo there. Politicians love these highway projects - they can point and tell you about all the "jobs" they've created - what they don't tell you is (1) the work is usually down by out of area contractors and (2) when the road is done, the jobs are gone. And to many people, by this idiocy - along with the "great improvement it's going to make in traffic flow........yada yada yada" interminably. Progress can be a great thing - if done right.

Guest im410se Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hello there! My name is Bob Reynolds and I'm an old road lover down in Tennessee. I haven't seen much reference to southern roads, but there are a lot of them around, and I hope to bring a little southern flavor to the group with my posts and photos. My particular love is old bridges and tunnels. It's very sad to see so many camelback truss bridges being replaced by modern, soulless spans. I realize the newer bridges are safer, but they totally lack character. Such is progress, I suppose. And I also suppose there were folks way back when complaining that the new fangled bridges were replacing all the ferries:) Time marches on:) I've created a new photo file titled "BabyBoomerBob", and posted a few local photos featuring the US 11 bridge at Loudon, TN, and some downtown art. My wife and I recently took a day trip down to Chattanooga, a trip I hope to write up and post soon. I am thoroughly delighted to find a group of fellow roadies, not to mention that magnificent magazine! BabyBoomerBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brownwho63 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Welcome to the group, Bob. I did some old road traveling in TN for several years as part of my (then) employment. Drove highways 20, 22, 45, 51, 64, and 104 lots of time. I worked in places like Union City, McKenzie, Lexington, Dyer, Trenton, Humboldt, Selmer, Savannah, and Kenton. Blue highways are everywhere.

There was a plan in Chicago back in the 1970s to build yet another expressway within the city that would run north and south along Cicero Avenue on Chicago's west side, to connect I-55, I-290, I- 90, and I-94. Named the Crosstown Expressway, it was touted as a way to divert through-traffic from the congested downtown area. Thousands of businesses and homes would have been destroyed for this "progress". BUT, even though bonds were already sold, Federal funds had already been obtained, and plans were completed, the project was halted by the determination of a whole bunch of people. The funds were used for alternative transportation projects instead, such as extending the Rapid Transit rail service all the way to O'Hare airport and building the rail line that runs from downtown to Midway airport. So, if you feel strongly about trying to stop some or all of this project, don't give up! It CAN happen!

Guest thelandrunner Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Greetings Fellow Road Warriors, Here is an update attachment that Michael's office secretary sent to me yesterday: File name: October_23_Michael.doc File type: application/msword October 23, 2002 MICHAEL WALLIS update: Michael had surgery on Tuesday, and the good news was that there was no infection in the leg wound, so doctors closed it for the first time. Now they will schedule surgery on his hip – probably next week. There are some bone chips that they need to get out of the hip socket. Eventually he will need a hip replacement. I spoke with Suzanne this morning and she said Michael had his best day yet and his spirits are goods. He is enjoying all the cards, emails, etc., though he is on so much medication, that he can only look at them a few at a time. There is still concern and danger of blood clots and embolism. I will try to update you often. Susan Witt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Burr Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks Pat, I sort of thought it was - this is "progress" shoved down peoples throat. There already interstates between Indianapolis and Memphis - this is a sop to those on the east side who want an interstate down thru west Tennessee. It will save drivers, perhaps, a half hour. I know - I've driven most of it. I can run I-57 (picking it up east of Decatur using U S 36 east to get to it), down thru southern IL into MO and I-55 to West Memphis (or as Memphians put it - left Memphis!!) to my daughters in Memphis in 7 hours, no sweat. (An alternate is I-155 off 55 over to Dyersburg and south on 51 to Memphis. I can run the same using U S 51 in about 7? hours. U S 51 in Tennessee is now 4 lane limited access from just west of Fulton, KY all the way into Memphis. So is an extension of 69 really needed. I don't think so. You are in Michigan - you have a desire to visit Mexico. Ok, 69 to Indy, 70 to Ok City and 35 south to Neuevo Laredo. That's it. Or you can take 69 to Indy, 70 over to 57 to 55 to 40 Little Rock, then 30 to Dallas and 35 to Mexico. You can also go thru St. Louis. How many Interstates to the Illegals and drug smugglers (ooopppps, that's not "politically correct") need, for crying out loud. My soap box for the day.
