Highway 93 is about to disappear. A nostalgic photo essay.
I’ll miss it. This is similar to what happened to much of Route 66 when I-40 paved it over.

Beautiful photography, but that’s about all I could take from the article.
I suppose it’s because it reminds me of the in-your-face “message” that was being forced upon viewers in the movie Cars: Small Towns are Paradise, Interstates and Big Business are Evil.
I’m sure that it makes me cold and heartless on some level, but there are plenty of small towns that still seem to survive despite their original highways being turned into Business Routes and the highways being re-built as bypasses around them.
I remember talking to some of the left who opposed the Newbury Bypass in the UK, which would allow cars to go around the town rather than have to go through the middle, where traffic ground to a halt for much of the summer. The most absurd argument they kept coming up with was that, if the bypass was built, local businesses would lose business because people wouldn’t be stuck in traffic and stop to eat or buy a newspaper while they were there. And these were the same people who said cars should be banned because exhaust fumes… they weren’t even local people working in those businesses, most had moved in just for the protests.
Utterly insane, the lot of them. I really had no idea how mentally deranged the left were until I spent some time with that mob.
