Talk about a historic route 66, this does show that roads can last longer that a couple of years, as many do today! lol Love this historic piece of history, Joan! fave and vote

Randy, I do think that they built 'em to last back then :-) Thanks for your F/V!

I feel like i've been there....V
Cheri Randolph replied:
Joan, it is probably so typical of concrete 4-lane highways all across the U.S. As much as you've traveled, you have probably seen its twin many times :-) Thanks for voting!

Cheri, According to my niece Tulane is better than a four lane, that's where she went to college. I like the vanishing point aspect of this where the two lines become one at the horizon, George v/f/pif
Cheri Randolph replied:
Hi George, Tulane Avenue is a wide thoroughfare, which even in the 1950s was about 8 lanes across. The University fronts on St. Charles Avenue, however, at which point it is one lane on either side of the "Neutral Ground" as the locals refer to the grassy median in between the lanes where the streetcar tracks are located. Excellent choice of college for your niece! Thanks for visiting and promoting this one, which is not located in Louisiana, but along Route 66 near Cuba, Missouri.
