Guest David G. Clark Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would have to dive into the road map collection to see when each of the following routes passed through, but the intersection of Jackson and Michigan in Chicago has been part of many important highways over the years. In the named highway era, the intersection saw the Dixie Highway, the Pontiac Trail, and the Yellowstone Trail, perhaps more. During the early years of the Illinois State Highway system, the intersection was the starting point of State Bond Issue Routes 1, 4, 5, 6, 18, 19, 21, and 42. US highways to use the intersection included 14, 32, 34, 41, 54, and 66.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I can't remember but I believe I was on it today. This is day 3 of my US 421 trip. Started out Thursday in Michigan City, IN and made it into Wilmington, NC tonite. I left Bristol, VA this morning - the first part of the trip today thru TN was a crazy rollercoaster mountain drive.

Guest mattinwilmington3 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I have a query that puzzles me to no end. Why is American Road, and other roadie groups for that matter, in the Finance category in Yahoo Groups? Shouldn't it be in transportation maybe? Hmmm.....

Guest Pat B. Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Matt, When we created the group in 2002 (Has it been that long?), we did select transportation groups as our category, but for some reason we got put into the finance section. Due to the near impossiblity of contacting a living being at Yahoo to ask about that (and other issues we've had questions about), we've not been able to find out why our location in the Yahoo Groups world is where it is. But we're glad you found us anyway!

At the top level "Finance", it doesn't make sense (which is what you see in the URL), but our group is actually located down as follows: Business & Finance > Transportation > Highways and Roads. Here is the URL to that category (and we are at the top!): http://www.smallerurl.com/index.php?id=i15zgiv Hope that helps!

Guest Randy Stevens Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi Kids, Maybe it's just me..... but with the current price of gasoline, I think "Finance" for a driving group is appropriate, no?

Guest D Gardner Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 It's funny how that happens... I also am a member of the yahoogroups of "TentCamping" and "Station Wagons" and "National Parks" and "Wildlife/Nature" "Environmental Issues" (can you tell a trend here--at least the *roadie* part? <grin>)...and I'm a moderator/owner for "GuamAlumni", a local San Joaquin County yahoogroup, and some other more obscure groups. Also a member of a few high school/college reunion groups and a group for those married to persons from Japan/Asia (there are special cultural strangenesses that happen with this situation and we all commisserate with each other on this regard <grin>). Because I'm a professional writer, I'm also a member of bunches of writing groups... technical writing, copy writing, freelance writing, freelance editing, and so on. And, since I *love* photography, I'm also a member of those as well. I don't contribute to most of them... I usually just lurk... and there are some that aren't very well moderated that fill up with so much spam and junk that I'm about ready to just cancel my membership as well... <sigh> I don't remember how I found this group (maybe I was searching for websites for great roadtrip recommendations?)... but I'm happy to have found a bunch of kindred souls who *love being on the road*! It's the freedom of the road that just gets my creativity flowing and makes me feel *alive*... yeah! Anyway.. thanks for being such a great group--I'll dig up some more pictures of our most recent road trip and post 'em. Is anyone here planning on seeing a Chinese New Year Festival/parade this year in February? Last year my wife and I stayed at a La Quinta Motor Inn in San Francisco (corner of Van Ness and Geary)... and used the transit (Metro) busses to get around <we originally got to SF by way of BART from Pleasanton> ... and we not only explored JapanTown (on Geary) but also the Russian Neighborhoods (on Geary near 22nd street)... in addition to standing in the rain and watching the Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown... What a nifty experience!

Guest rudkip@sbcglobal.net> Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I gotta admit that I like "cruisin" the radio dial when travelling; 1) it is the challenge of finding music I can stomach; 2) if you can find a little local station it gives you some flavor of the area you are cruising through... if I am at a loss, I try to keep a few CD's on hand to fill in the gaps..try to keep it eclectic (these lists also change daily, depending on my mood): --X-More Fun In The New World (do NOT let the name of the band fool you--awesome cover of Jerry Lee's Breathless...--Doors-LA Woman (the title track may be the best road song ever!) --Dylan/The Band: Before The Flood --Talking Hands: Sand in the Vasoline --Pink Floyd: The Wall (for those times I cruise by lost icons and get really bitter) --Bruce Springsteen: Darkness on the Edge of Town --REM: Document --Elvis Presley: Singles --The Sun Records Story --Elvis Costello: Anything off the first 3 albums --The Pretenders: The Pretenders --The Breeders: Lush Life (if only for the song "Cannonball!) --(once I hit Glenrio) Ry Cooder.... --And dont forget your Blues Music: Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Elmore James, Charlie Muselwhite, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton (sorry, I am partial to the Harmonica), Honeyboy Edwards, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, etc. etc. etc. --A little Zydeco Music by Clifton Chenier... --and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen so I can make Natalie laugh doing my "Wayne's World" imitation... I'll have to dust off the 33 of Hejira, Tim...haven't listened to that in years...Awesome album (Joni's "Blue" is not too shabby, either, though I doubt I could quote as many road references!)

Guest Alex Burr Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I, inadvertantly, solved my "music while traveling" problem. The way traffic is these days one really is taking a chance digging a CD out of the pile and putting it in the CD player. I recently bought a 1997 Cadillac (hey, the price was right and it gets 27 mpg at 70mph - what more you want???) and in the trunk is this little black box.

The way traffic is these days one really is taking a chance digging a CD out of the pile and putting it in the CD player. I recently bought a 1997 Cadillac (hey, the price was right and it gets 27 mpg at 70mph - what more you want???) and in the trunk is this little black box. It's a CD player with a 12 CD cartridge in it. Load the cartridge up the night before at your motel, put it into the little black box in the morning and cruise with your tunes all day long.

The iPod eliminates ALL of the bulk and messing around that comes with CDs and the earlier cassette tapes while packing enough material to run my own radio station. My iPod is full of mostly radio hits from the 1960s through 1990s plus lots of 'classic' rock and other more obscure stuff that I find interesting, nearly 3000 seperate song files in all - almost 10 days of stuff if played straight through! I have it organized into playlists that duplicated my favorite older cassette tape mixes or I can simply set it to play songs from its entire library in random order. Truly a 'radio' that only plays stuff that I like and all in a package that is no larger than a deck of cards. I consider it to have been the best $300 that I have ever spent - a REAL 'Ain't technology wonderful!!!' thing! :-) As for specific roadtripping stuff, besides the radio hits (I am especially partial to 1970s R/B and disco and 1980s 'New Wave' tunes), one interesting tune that I first heard during a road trip in late June of 2004 was 'Move Ya Body' by Nina Sky, this while scanning the local FM radio as I was driving southbound through Chicago on the Edens/Kennedy expressway just after sunrise. It is a light, simple 'urban' tune that fit perfectly into the setting. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | | ____ | | | | | Michael G.

Guest roaddog_rt66 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Jeff Scarbrough brought up another good subject for discussion. And that is really great local radio stations to listen to while cruising down the road. I'll listen to my tapes and cds, but I also like to tune in AM and FM stations, the first thing road warriors had to listen to while on the pavement. I can remember trips with my parents where we HAD to listen to THEIR music. That was complete agony. These days, I also check out stations for local color. Sometimes I have found out about a great nearby festival. Other times, it was a fantastic restaurant that I might otherwise have driven by. These days, I have a lot of luck with AM stations in small markets, where businesses can advertise for cheaper than on FM. The areas to the far left or right of the dial are a good place to start off your search. Sometimes, just a scan will do it. Listening to the Navajo stations is something I'm going to do on our Rt 66 trip in the fall. I remember some great listening we did back in '95 when we cruised western Louisiana and heard those great Cajun/zydeco stations. One frequency in New Orleans played nothing but jazz and other 'Nawlins influenced music. Another great trip was along US 52 in southern Ohio, along the Ohio River. It was just about gloaming and the shadows were casting and the hills looming above made the station playing nothing but bluegrass just seem to be right. The Florida Keys have especially great stations. You can find out all that's going on and hear some great fishing programs. What we need now is for some of you road people to give your ideas and especially any special shows available while travelling. Giving some numbers would be helpful as well. I didn't write them down on our trips, I now wish I had. Perhaps, there are even some good parent-kid stories out there. Keep on Down that Two Lane Highway and Keep Tuned In. --RoadDog.

This doesn't necessarily include comments critical of persons outside the list, however, such as actions by those who would destroy roadside landmarks. Remember, the list isn't a battleground for personal arguments. Acts of flaming will generate a reminder. Continued infractions will result in banishment. -Keep your posts on topic. Off-topic posts should be sparing and labeled OFF-TOPIC. -No profanity & off-color jokes. -Kindly keep posts road-related and aimed at the group in general rather than one person. Private email should be used for one-on-one chat. -Computers have made us lazy but we ask that you please make a real effort to only include parts of a prior message pertinent to your response. Simply hitting "reply" wastes space and forces everyone to scroll through threads that may get long. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this list a great place to visit.

Guest rudkip@sbcglobal.net> Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 when you cruise through St. Louis, three stations worth tuning into are KDHX (88.1 FM) our local public access station which plays a wide variety of music (including great blues from 4-6 p.m. M, W-F and a great cajun show 4-6 p.m on Tues) and WEW AM 770 perhaps the most eclectic batch of ethnicity you will find anywhere (great Polka show on Sundays!). Finally, hats off to WESL, 1490 AM, a wonderful soul, R and B and blues station out of East St. Louis with some of the greatest DJ's you will find anywhere. Proposition for a thread: what are your favorite stations to listen to out on the road or in your town? I would like to know whats good to listen to up and down the road...Tsingtao Kip ----- Original Message ----- From: "roaddog_rt66" <roaddog_rt66@yahoo.com> To: <AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 1:25 PM Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Great Radio Listening > Jeff Scarbrough brought up another good subject for discussion.
