Guest Charlie and Jan Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi, I am new to the group. My name is Jan. I live in Iowa. My hubby and I are planning a vacation starting next week. We were wondering if there is anything special to see in North Dakota? We never hear much about North Dakota. We are going to South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. We are going to Minn and go on interstate 90. Thanks, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're REALLY not in a hurry you could take US 67 south to US 160 west at Poplar Bluff, and stay on 160 all the way to the northern Branson area. I've only been on part of this route, but from what I understand most of it is crooked and narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the bridge I'm thinking of, it was replaced by a new 4- lane bridge. I think the old bridge is still there, but is no longer on the main highway (which is now Mo.

Guest Brian Butko Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Your mention of Post House restaurants brought this article to mind about a recent closing along the Pa. Turnpike and Lincoln Highway: Breezewood's Post House is closing its doors http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04179/338195.stm Brian From: "Bob Reynolds" <roustabout@starband.net> Reply-To: AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2004 07:56:53 -0000 To: AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Re: Discount Department Stores of the Past..../ restaurants Oh man! This one really hits home. When I was in school at the University of Miami I didn't have a car, so I had to take the bus from Chattanooga. I clearly remember those Post Houses at some of the Greyhound stations (especially Daytona Beach) where you could get a good, full meal. The last time I rode a greyhound was 1988. Lunch stop was in Lunchburg, VA. Sandwiches from a vending machine and a microwave:( On a more personal note, going off to college in Miami was quite a cultural shock for this Tennessee boy. I like to tell folks I graduated from a prominent northern university:) I'll never forget the first time I ordered sausage with my breakfast and got links. What was this stuff? The first time I went home was for Thanksgiving. I took a Trailways bus that rambled all over the state of Florida before pulling in at Tallahassee for breakfast. I ordered breakfast and got my first sausage patties since leaving Tennessee. A most comforting touch of home to a lonely boy on a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? Maybe? In 1936, US 67 split at the current junction of AR 367 and AR 11 just east of Higginson (The map shows this locale as "Morning Sun"). From here, the roads followed, going south to north: US 67W: AR 367 north to Booth Rd west to Pioneer Rd north which turns into Elm St north to Race Ave east to Davis Rd north which turns into CR 76 east which turns into AR 385 east(? Not sure which way this road is signed, as it forms a J) US 67E: AR 11 south to AR 87 north which turns into 1st Street which turns into CR 66 The split routes met on the north end of the split in Judsonia, where AR 385 meets CR 66. Just north of the Jusdonia bridge, where AR 385 now makes a 90 degree angle. I could make a map of the area showing current and former designations if anybody is interested.

Guest John Corcoran Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The Arkansas Highway Department has county maps available online that might cast a little light on the question. If you go to http://www.ahtd.state.ar.us/Maps/Counties/...oricalMapst.htm and select the one for White County, you'll find a decently high resolution map of the Searcy area. They used to have a link to the current county maps, good for comparison, but it has either moved or isn't working. There is an online version of the tourist map which will do in a pinch. ___________________________________ john@jecorcoran.org is John Corcoran Horn Lake, MS 38637 US http://jecorcoran.org -----Original Message----- [mailto:AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Brian and Kerri Wolters Sent: Friday, 15 July 2005 7.59 Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Re: US 67 >So, that said, then 67E goes through Kensett and I assume Higgingston >(sp?) and then connects with AR 367 which then goes south toward Beebe >and then West toward Searcy on the old 67 W.

Guest Melanie M Guerra Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I love North Dakota! It's beautiful this time of year, green rolling hills as far as you can see There are some weird, fun things...the Casselton Can Pile (as it sounds!) on I-94 frontage road in Castleton (just West of Fargo, There's the Enchanted Highway between Regent & Gladstone, sculptures along the highway (i think a work in progress) also off I94. Those are kind of "roadside attractions"...If you're into art deco, the state capitol building in Bismark is worth a visit...you can go up to the observbatory as well. Teddy Roosevelt national park has a great drive through rollign badlands, as well ass protected grasslands. Devils Lake is a pretty lake & has a cute "western" downtown..that's all i know????? In Wyoming absolutely drive the Beartooth Highway (although double check, I think I heard it may be closed? I drove it last year at this time, so not sure). if you're interested in my fave spots in western Montana, i'm happy to share as well HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!

Guest Alex Burr Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Taking a good look at todays maps, there is a distinct possibility of the following in the Searcy/Higginson area: 67W would be, today, business 67; the original alignment could well have been 367 Judsonia to CW Road, west to N. Bypass Road, then south thru Searcy to on N. Main Street to S. Main Street, rejoining 367 just south of Higginson. 67E most likely ran south from Judsonia on 367 to, possibly, Bailey Road, then angle down to Higginson and rejoin 67W somewhere in that neighborhood. I think, actually, AR 367 is the old U S 67 - look at a map of Mississippi and U S 61 - the old and new alignments run parallel for miles down thru Tunica and south. Most likely the same here with 67/367. And in fact, on MS Streets and Trips there is a road just north of Little Rock, just over the Pulaski/Lonoke county lines that goes to the right onto 367 that is shown as "Old U S 67." As on 61 in Mississippi here also the towns are shown mainly as being on 367 - which most likely means 367 IS the old U S 67 alignment.

The northern AR 367 was commissioned between 1967 and 1971, when US 67-167 was moved to the freeway. The section south of Searcy came along in 1974.

On every trip, I'd get my mom to let us eat at the Automat at least once, despite my mother having somewhat loftier tastes in dining out. There was no cafeteria line then, as I recall. All the food came through the little doors. The Automat was one of the multitude of charms of the city, for a young person. As an adult, when I moved to Connecticut, less than an hour outside of NYC, I went back once to an Automat just to see if it had changed, and of course it had, but not as much as I'd expected. The decor was basically the same, but the cafeteria line had been added. I found this site with some pictures, for those who havn't had the pleasure.

Not exactly. I posted the exact routing of old 67E and W in another post in this thread. > I think, actually, AR 367 is the old U S 67 - look > at a map of Mississippi and U S 61 - the old and new > alignments run parallel for miles down thru Tunica and > south. Most likely the same here with 67/367. For the most part, yes. Although there are some stretches of 367 in Searcy that are not a part of the original routing, and the routing through Beebe is not original, but a later bypass (the old route through Beebe is partially US 67B and partially Center Street.) > And in fact, on MS Streets and Trips there is a road > just north of Little Rock, just over the > Pulaski/Lonoke county lines that goes to the right > onto 367 that is shown as "Old U S 67." Actually that road does not cross US 67 where AR 367 begins, you must follow a frontage road northward to continue onto old 67/367. There are a few places that one cannot follow old 67 without backtracking, and this is one of those places. There is another even older routing of 67 south of Cabot (1st Street/CR 278) that is partially still a dirt road (unless it has been paved within the last 10 years.)

My ex-GF lives over there... maybe she can find me some old maps of the area. Around Beebe, there's a county road (Davidson Rd) along US 64 about a mile west of current 67/167 which I believe is the original 67. 67/64 then came into Beebe on what's now 67B then followed Center St to AR 31 then continued north on Center (nowdays, 67B returns to its parent on 31) I followed this a few years ago and can attest that this is probably the original route through Beebe. It would later become US 64C when the first "bypass" was built around town (now AR 367). When the expressway was built, 64C became 67B. It's interesting to note how most of the businesses are along the "old" Bypass (367) and little is left of downtown. You see the same thing in Alma, AR along US 64.

Guest WILEYOTTER@AOL.COM Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Back in the early 60s, when the Automats were ready to close, I thought I'd never taste their Mac & Cheese again... I ask one of the cooks for the recipe and he told me they were "copywrited" but would give me an idea of the basic ingredients and I could play around with it and try to make it at home... I played around with these basic ingredients for a while and came up with a reasonably close recipe. Being a bachelor in my early 20s I substituted Cheddar Cheese soup. It wasn't perfect but not that bad... I went to the web site Laurel Kane just sent and did some searching and found the recipe from someone who said the recipe in the book was wrong for the mac & cheese and sent the right one.. Now that I'm retired and have all the time in the world I'll try it out... Anybody wants it and can't find it on the site E-mail me off list and I'll send it to you...

Guest Jennifer Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I always thought the Horn & Hardart Automats were the coolest thing. Mysterious how you could get your food out of a little hole in the wall! Not too unlike the Jetsons in my mind! LOL Seeing the movie "That Touch of Mink" (where Audrey Meadows' character worked in the Automat) demystified the process, but they were still cool nonetheless. Prior to the closing of the last Automat in New York City I had a chance to go there. I remember it was on/near 42nd Street, and I think at Lexington Avenue; it wasn't too far from Grand Central Terminal. It was the same Automat from "That Touch of Mink" and it was also shown in the original version of "The Out of Towners" with Jack Lemmon. That was a very neat experience to go there...I didn't eat too much from the cafeteria line, I wanted to get most of my food from the Automat machines. I even managed to keep a few tokens, so I still have them as souvenirs. There's an Automat display set up at the Smithsonian, that was interesting to see. Just glad I had a chance to visit one before they passed into history. Anyone else ever been to an Automat? I think they were in NYC and somewhere in PA?
