Take a look at what sits at this intersection today compared to this photo.

I can't -- it's too hard with the information given. None of those businesses are there anymore.

Originally posted on the old AA Highway Sign Gallery, this 11-2-94 vidcap shows former signage along I-95 for U.S. 222 when it still ran south from Conowingo to Perryville, Maryland.

US 61 in Duluth (the only one I have ever seen, from the Duluth News Tribune sometime in 1980):



I have longed to see some US 61 shields along the North Shore. I have photos of the old rest area sign with a US 61 shield that stood until about 2009 but not on this computer.

This brings back memories of when we used to go to Duluth.  I remember US 61 was actually a few blocks up the hill and Superior was business  61.  Superior seemed to hold more traffic.  Also MN 194 went down central entrance instead of up the hill here.

Yeah, no shit. Billy, where was this photo taken? We can't look it up unless you provide us with additional context.

Well, shit! I didn't have to be fucking chastised like a little kid here! Did I not just point out up-post about US 93 going through Stephens Avenue and Orange Street? I actually did. That is Brooks Street going northwest. Happy?!!!! Next...!
Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

They only asked for a bit more clarification. That kind of response is totally unnecessary here.

A quick google of those street names and it looks like Missoula, MT.  Then I noticed the "Holiday Village" shopping center and found it on Brooks Ave.  Here's approximately the same location today on Street View.  http://goo.gl/D5QsEp
