..and the U.S. made all those straight roads by leveling anything in existence historical, signifigant, green or owned by it's citizens. If a factory needed a road, you'd better get the F*** out. Progress and concrete over culture and humanity. 
Welcome to the grid.
Welcome to the grid.
Big Booty Hoes for $1000, Alex.
This is almost as bad as going over the grapevine from LA to Bakersfield. You come over the top and its long, flat, and straight....
Looks a lot like the stretch between Blythe and Quartzsite on I10

Yes, but that stretch leads to Primm, where the the Tree Bar lives, the only casino bar in the world that won't kick you out if you bring a Boston Terrier to the bar, place her on the bar and order her a drink. I also saw guy puke all over the craps table, and everybody just kept playing like nothing happened. Primm is a special place.
Damn, Brett Favre has really let himself go. Still think the Vikings would take him back right now.
I spent 2 days in Primm after the truck I was traveling in Burned to the ground after we got pulled over for our truck being on fire.
Wait. Hold on. Have you ever been in a truck that burned to the ground, but not from being on fire? What about the puller overer person? What happened to their car? Was it a car? Why didn't they just let you burn?
Doh...forgot to contribute...albeit randomly:
The trooper or sheriff or whatever she was followed us for about a mile before she pulled us over. We figured she called a Fire truck but by the time the firetruck came it was to late. A tow truck put up a valiant effort trying to put us out. He even towed us to a Isuzu Dealer in Nevada after the fire was out...
I have wrecked several trucks over the years. It wasn't my first rodeo....
I had an Isuzu trooper burn to the ground on me. Hot enough it melted the alloy rims!
Turns out it was a chronic problem with the Automatic transmission, especially when trying to go from rev/forward to get out of a Snow bank.
I paid 9 for it. The adjuster took one look at it, and cut me a check on the spot for $17,500.
Turns out they had boatloads of claims on these.
Best P.O.S. I ever bought!
And yes...I bought a standard....

One of the most hopelessly miserable places in the entire world.I am guessing you've never been to Bakersfield.
It's easy for a former valley kid, who now works for an airline, to non-rev too/from though.
Driven through it 50+ times, refuse to stop. Anything off the 99 sucks, that's a fact.I am guessing you've never been to Bakersfield.
Speaking of Primm and random pictures, how about a post-race haircut in the bathroom of room 501b at Buffalo Bills?
a friends 72 westy burned to the ground on the main street of the small town we lived in....it smelled vaguely of weed as it burned...
So did ours.....
Old US Cities like Boston are also a mess. The main problem is cities built before urban planning and after someone invented that idea. Also Paris or Szczecin are pretty well planned. LA on the other hand is as far from it as possible
Where is that?
Sichaun province Chongquin (anglo Chung King) China. Like Beijing it is resisting efforts to Modernize through grand development efforts. Basically the Chinese Goverment wants to build a Rail Corridor through the the Valley to the territory they annexed from India (Arunachal Pradesh).
Boston was a very planned city. However much of the city wasn't designed for the Automobile. LA was where the Subdivision concept of Urban planning was mastered. Just about every square mile of the city was planned. In fact other then areas downtown you would be hard pressed to find anywhere in LA that wasn't planned if only because of water distribution.
Nice find.
I have the supreme satisfaction of knowing that my ex-wife, aka PsychoBitch, lives in Bako.I am guessing you've never been to Bakersfield.
best. revenge. ever.
Hold my beer, watch this!
My bad. Everyone I know that has been or lived in any of those cities complains about moving from a to b there but you know more than me. Still, yurp cities were also often planned. Just as the case of boston, not for cars.
Though for example Warsaw was never and still isn't so the city is enormous given the population.
