This last paragraph makes me wonder how many more graveyards 'CBE will be whistling past as well.

Four years ago I came across this billboard in Cincy...

6 weeks later.... I know there was a Misny billboard in Downtown Marion....3 years ago.

They are. The locals have shown, over the course of the last 30 years, that they will not give up their land for new roads. Thus, ODOT is being forced to spend an overabundance of $$$ to counteract 75 years of unchecked development along US 23 from Delaware Reservoir to I-270.

Thanks for the call out (I think). I won't be able to make it, my job will have me in Alliance that Saturday.

When I was I young adult (pre internet, pre MTR, pre roadfan, pre UrbanOhio, etc) I had a subscription to Modern Drummer magazine (that lasted 10 years, I think). In one issue (mid to late 90s) they had interviewed Idris Mohommed and he was complaining about rappers stealing his drumbeats and not compensating him. Your reference above to drums being "uncopywriteable" trigger that memory for me.

Driven by Vicksburg along US 61 & I-20 about a dozen times over the years. Other than the lookout over Mississippi River bridges, I've never really stopped and looked at the architecture of Vicksburg. Thanks for doing us the honor.

I like to joke that I was OSU-LSU before Joe Burrow made it cool. 😁 But back in the early days of UrbanOhio, I decided to move from Clintonville to Baton Rouge and enroll in LSU's Geography Dept to pursue a masters degree (this was back in 2004). I lived down there for 5 years ('04-'09) before moving back to Central Ohio. For comparison to Ink's recent photos, I offer several links to photos I took around Baton Rouge, in 2005 http://www.roadfan.com/dtbrrd.html http://www.roadfan.com/beaure.html http://www.roadfan.com/spanish.html http://www.roadfan.com/sbrrd.html http://www.roadfan.com/ebrrd.html

I ended up plagiarizing myself for one of the Urban Planning courses I took at OSU, eons ago. I researched and wrote an expansive term paper concerning the "rise and fall of I-73" for Dr. Kevin Cox's Advance Political Geography course (Geog 660). I then turned around and decided to use it again for some Urban Planning course that a PhD student was covering. I think the PhD student gave me a better grade than Dr. Cox did.

Wasn't sure which photo thread to add these to, but I decided here. Driven by Rolling Fork, Ms. along US 61, a dozen times over the years. I think it was in fall of 2008 I finally decided to stop and photograph their Gazebo & plaque honoring McKinley Morganfield, aka Muddy Waters, who was born near there, back in 1915. After the tornado tore the town up, earlier this week, the plaque might be among the only things still standing. 😥 And a pictorial history of Rolling Fork, painted on the side of a building.

I'll take one. People like to talk about my wardrobe. 😆

Funny. I drove through (and stopped for 30 minutes for photographs) Dubuque last month.

Yesterday in downtown McConnelsville.

Yabo, if you live in Central Ohio, I would second Mr. Charlie's comment and go to 'World of Photography' in Grandview first.
