I've yet to find a town map of State College in PSU libraries or published by the state, so for now this page has to suffice. Walking around campus, there's some geography notes I've found interesting:
- 1992 map: what on earth are those phone numbers? I've seen 7 digit phone numbers (area code is implied), but never 5 digit ones.
This is a product of the phone system the college uses. Using a phone within the college's system, they only need to dial the 5 numbers shown. The 1st number is the last number of the local extension (ie: 623-3064. If you needed to call from outside the school's system, just dial the 7 digit number, which is now probably area code plus 7 digit number). Each professor's office, classroom, administration and other offices all probably had 5 digit numbers as well.
State offices in Trenton, NJ have the same (or at least similar) system, although some Divisions and Departments have changed to a newer system that involves dialing all 10 digits.
This is a very common thing, actually. Rutgers University still has 5 digit dialing across campuses as long as your university phone number is one of their standard exchanges (848-932 or 848-445, or 848-267). Fewer people know about it these days because landlines are not as much of a thing, but they still work for VOIP phones used in most campus office buildings.

The abbreviation for Clearwater ( on the airport that is) is got a lot to be desired.

Great Lakes and Ohio Valley / Re: I-70/71 Columbus Crossroad...
Last post by TempoNick - Today at 12:49:18 AMI was driving through there today and I'm still shaking my head at everything that's being built over there. Don't get me wrong, the work is impressive, but I'm wondering if a better and less complicated solution wouldn't have been to:
1. Leave everything as is along the split, with minor improvements.
2. Divert traffic from I-70 westbound at James Road to Ohio 104 as was suggested once as sort of an express lane for I-70 thru traffic. It would also eliminate having to drive all the curves along existing I-70.
3. Existing I-70 West of James to get another number. (I know ODOT talked about downgrading it to a boulevard, but that sounded stupid to me.)
4. I-71 routed along I-670 and 315 without multiplexing with I-70.
It seems like this would have solved multiple problems without all the complexity of this project. I know other problems would be created, but there are some spots along I-670 that were never right, particularly the ramps around Neil and Goodale.

I take that "The Islands" refers to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard on this guide on SB MA28.

Last post by Scott5114 - Today at 12:23:59 AMQuote from: triplemultiplex on April 26, 2024, 11:09:32 AMAs much as a LOVE panning around on Google Earth and the like and enjoy it when there is new imagery to browse, I have a pang of nostalgia for the days before the ubiquity of such online resources and my efforts to keep our copy of the Delorme atlas for Wisconsin updated amid a flurry of rural expressway/freeway construction in the state.
I tend to be more averse to GSV spoilers of upcoming road trips than I am spoilers of TV shows and such. (Mostly because I kind of like knowing the plot of a show going into it because it helps you spot foreshadowing and such, but there's no real benefit to knowing what a scenic view looks like ahead of time.)
