Post by: Localonthe8s on May 17, 2008, 09:21:31 PM: I like the roads in NYC. For example I would study and make alternate routes for the Van Wyck or Grand Central Parkways.

What's the "Big Dig"?
You call yourself a roadgeek and like the roads of Boston, but you have no idea what the Big Dig is? :footinmouth:

Post by: Gil on May 17, 2008, 11:02:00 PM: Was being sarcastic. Not sure if you caught that or not, hard to tell w/ that emoticon :unsure:
Title: Re: Are you a roadgeek?
Post by: lfmusiclover on May 17, 2008, 11:38:13 PM: Your emoticon doesn't indicate sarcasm. Something like :whistling: or :rolleyes: or <_< would have been more appropriate.

Post by: beanboy89 on June 10, 2008, 09:30:32 PM: This is exciting. I just found a 1981 Rand McNally Road Atlas! :thrilled:

It's neat to see how different everything looked 27 years ago.

Post by: Mike M on June 10, 2008, 10:18:03 PM: Probably not a road geek, but I do like roads. I like figuring out back ways to get to places and riding along rural roads. There's plenty of those to my south and east.
Title: Re: Are you a roadgeek?
Post by: Localonthe8s on June 10, 2008, 10:20:49 PM: Route 40 is my favorite road to travel. Scenic and right in the middle of farmland.

Post by: CartoonJazzLover on June 10, 2008, 10:33:51 PM: yes.

Post by: lfmusiclover on June 10, 2008, 10:40:09 PM: I'm like Mike. I'm not sure I'd call myself a road geek, but I do enjoy traveling the roads of MD and surrounding states. West Virginia is my favorite place to travel the roads. Lots of back roads, and its a very rural setting. Delaware is a fun place to travel through too.
