1. The "Old 27 Tour" (external link) starts at the bottom of Michigan & follows the original US-27 from the bottom of the state to the top, stopping at about 15 towns along the way. It takes a week to complete, so there are no trailer queens on this trip. ; )

2. This is St. Louis, my home town. It's three blocks long. As you can see, there are 5 lanes of cars on the main
street & they extend for more than the three blocks. They were there from 3:15pm to 5:30pm, & then they went off to Clare, 35 miles away.

I saw a lot of smiles! Except for the brief period when a light rain that had threatened all day sprinkled a bit.
Thanks for the comment, Lupo!

Some of these are examples of things that Detroit did right. For example, how many of today's cars look as good as this Merc? ; )

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

As for "old cameras", I still have my Nikon F, & am looking for a "Keep On Truckin" sticker for my 20D.
Thanks for the comment!

The cars did most of the work, but thanks, George!
