Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Found this tid bit in the Memphis, TN, news section on the internet this morning. Not sure just how this relates - it appears that 1937 was the year that U S 51 was finished all the way. 75 years ago: 1937 Jackson, Miss. — Detour signs will be torn down in Mississippi tomorrow on Highway 51 — the Great Lakes, via Memphis. To the Gulf Coast route — and Governor White and a 60-car caravan will blaze a trail for tourists to Mississippi's "American Riviera."

DennyG Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 "Mississippi" & "Riviera" are two words you don't often hear together unless it's referring to someone hurtling through the state in a Buick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
