Once upon a time in America you could travel along two lane highways from one end of the country to the other and pass through the places that are what make up this country. Places that had coffee shops and post offices and motels. Then the giant super highways came along and bypassed the older versions. If you pull off of Route 95 on the East Coast and move to one of the older paralell roads, such as 301 or 1, you will discover a decaying world of what used to be when motels all looked different and the towns themselves looked different from one another and there was people and animals and trees to look at. And billboards. And gas stations had only two pumps and didn't have a convenience store attached. And life went by a little slower. And folks had more times to get there. And having a TV was something worth noting on a neon sign. Stumble It!
