Quote from: Great Lakes Roads on July 09, 2025, 06:33:24 PMThe Sears store at the Plaza Las Américas mall in San Juan, PR will be closing for good on August 31st.

Only 6 Sears stores left within the US!

Number of Sears stores left in each state
CA- 2 (Burbank and Concord)
FL- 2 (Miami and Orlando)
MA- 1 (Braintree)
TX- 1 (El Paso)

The "World's Longest Going Out of Business Sale" is finally nearing its end.  A hell of a lot longer than I originally supposed.
But it can end any decade now!

Quote from: WillWeaverRVA on July 09, 2025, 04:03:30 PMLooks like the CTB will be switching Virginia from the federal MUTCD with a state supplement to a Virginia MUTCD:

https://ctb.virginia.gov/media/ctb/agendas-and-meeting-minutes/2025/07/ctb-workshop-meeting-2025-07-15.pdf

I see that document will restrict Clearview to guide signs on freeways and expressways only, rather than all signs on which it might otherwise be permitted. I've seen a fair number of Clearview street signs on the mast arms holding traffic light assemblies and some of them look pretty good in my opinion (here is one example that replaced a faded old all-caps Gothic sign; you can see the old sign if you click back to August 2019).

I should've mentioned that the proposed Virginia MUTCD can be found here.

Quote from: freebrickproductions on July 03, 2025, 11:59:24 PMWhy is US 250 a tourist destination? :confused:

There is some "We have US 550 at home" energy.

I haven't been there, but US 250 does get some props:
* "US-250 is a scenic and excellently-paved route": https://alavigne.net/Motorsports/ImageGallery/2008/10-AppalachianRoadTrip/?p=us250
* "U.S. Route 250 provides motorists with a scenic way to connect important Ohio history with interesting communities that tell a multitude of lesser-known stories": https://www.ohiohistory.org/u-s-route-250/

Centralia and Frankfort, but this is not Illinois.
Chester and Belleville, but this is not Illinois.
Madison and Appleton, but this is not Wisconsin.
