No,
they didn't name a street after me, but you'll find a city
street named H.B. Place in West Liberty, Ky. There's also an
Elkins
Street
in Stanton, Ky., also not named after
me.

Millennium Highway
Roads
and Highways Page
This page is the starting
point for all the roads and highways information you'll find on this
site. Enjoy your trip!
These pages contain -- what
else? -- road sign photos. They are graphic-intensive, so please give
them time to load.
- New Signs in Kentucky
- Here
you will find signage newly installed in Kentucky in late 2006 and in
2007. This page focuses on the use of the Clearview font in new
guide sign installations, and the new style of signage used for
Kentucky's parkways, which are the former toll roads within the
Commonwealth.
-
The Michael Summa Collection
- Before
digital cameras, before the Internet, before the proliferation of
desktop computers and flatbed scanners, there was Michael Summa. We are
proud and fortunate to have acquired a large number of scans from his
collection, most of of which were taken more than a decade ago, and to
be able to display them here.
-
- Road
Sign Goofs Picture Page
- This page contains photos
of mistakes on road signs. Mistakes may include misspellings or
typographical errors, or incorrect route number types (US routes
signed as state routes, and vice versa).
-
- Old
Road Signs Picture Page
- On this page, you'll find
photos of old road signs and sign styles that are not in common
use anymore. Examples include cutout US route shields and
nonreflective signs.
-
- Interesting
Road Signs Picture Page
- Here, you'll find signs
that I felt were interesting for one reason or another. You'll
just have to take a look at them and see if you agree that they're
interesting, or not!
-
- Signs
& Sights
- Here you'll find a
hodgepodge of photos of road signs and sights along the highways
of several states.

- Missouri-Arkansas
Road Trip -- June
28-29, 2001
- These are "loose" photos
of a two-day road trip I took June 28-29, 2001, along US 60 west
in southern Missouri, US 71 south into Arkansas, and US 62 east in
northern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri. The photos from Day 1
have been "Photoshopped," the photos from Day 2 have not been
cropped or adjusted and are "raw" as they came from the
camera.

Highway
Information Pages
|
If you're looking for
information pages dealing with certain roads and highways, this is
the right place.
- Toll
No More
- On June 1, 2003, tolls
were removed from the Cumberland and Daniel Boone Parkways in
southern Kentucky. Demolition of the toll plazas began after a
ceremony on June 9, at which the Daniel Boone Parkway was renamed
for U.S. Rep. Harold 'Hal" Rogers (R-Somerset), who secured
federal funding to pay off the bonds on these two toll roads ahead
of schedule. These pages depict the toll plazas after the tolls
were removed, but before they were demolished.
-
West
Virginia Highways Page
- This is the home of my
unofficial West Virginia Highways page. Included is a route log of
West Virginia interstate, US and state routes; information on the
West Virginia highway system; a few photos, and some links to
official West Virginia highway information sources. These pages
are being revamped to provide more information and even some
photos. If you have additional information or corrections, please
E-mail
me.
-
- Guide
to Kentucky's Interstates and Parkways
- Here is my version of the
popular exit lists, done Bluegrass-style. This portion of the Web
site is still under construction, but here you'll find a list of
exits for Kentucky's nine interstates and nine parkways. Included
are exit numbers, intersecting route numbers and/or names,
destinations shown on the exit signs, and other destinations not
listed that are reached from the exits. Again, if you can add
information to these guides, please E-mail
me.
-
Here are some road-related
pages which don't really fit the above categories. All are
graphic-intensive, so please give them time to load.
- New
I-26 Virtual Tour
- Take a tour of the new
Interstate 26 in Tennessee and North Carolina, officially opened
to traffic in August 2003.
-
- Lincoln
Heritage Trail
- This page contains scans
of a tourism brochure promoting the Lincoln Heritage Trail in
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
-
- Covered
Bridges in Kentucky
- Here you'll find photos
and brief descriptions of some of Kentucky's covered bridges,
along with accompanying historical markers if applicable. This
page is very image-intensive, so it will be slow to
load.
