Iowa has Emmet, Pocahontas and Guthrie Counties, which all have IA 4, Taylor, Appanoose and Van Buren Counties, which all have IA 2, plus Marion, Keokuk and Butler Counties as well. Guthrie County had US 6, until it got moved to I-80. Marion and Keokuk had a previous routing of US 63 (and Marion had US 163 as well). Butler had US 20 in its pre-freeway days.

I was going to say Lincoln County, WV, home of my grandfather, but then remembered that the four-lane US 119 clips a corner of it now.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I'm thinking Newaygo County in Michigan doesn't have any US or Interstate Highways in it.  US 131 comes within a mile or so of Newaygo County.  Oscoda and Montmorency counties also fit the bill.
I just had the time to go and look at all Michigan's counties and the list in my post above this one is the complete list.

FYI, it's possible to change your settings such that new posts are at the TOP of the thread, not the bottom.  That's the way I have my settings, not sure who else does things that way.

I understand why you do things that way, but for me, having new posts at the top seems chronologically very backwards. I vastly prefer to click the "NEW!" icon; and then I can both scroll in the correct direction and read the posts in the order they occurred.

Interestingly, the way you have it (new posts at the top) is the way the thread appears while I have the post window open, but once I hit post, the order reverses.

I made the switch about a year ago, I think.  I really like looking at Page 1 of every thread in order to get the latest posts.  This way, I only have to click on the thread title, rather than the little number identifying the last page number of the thread.  It look a little getting used to, but it's totally normal to me by now.

Also, in threads full of pictures, I often want to browse them in reverse order (that is, to see the most recent pictures right away), and this allows me to do so simply by scrolling down from the top.

You do know about the new posts icon I was referring to, right? I know we discussed it recently somewhere on the forum  but it may have been while you were offline. Next to every thread is a little yellow flashing "NEW!" button, which, incredibly, is actually clickable and takes you to your first unread post in the thread!!

(Before I learned about this, I, too, got annoyed with having to click the last page number. But, mercifully, clicking the last page number is no longer a feature of my forum experience, thanks to the "NEW!" icon).

EDIT: Aha! I found it!

You can add Craig, Dickenson, and Westmoreland to the VA list.
Stretching the definition a bit, you could also add the cities of Poquoson, Manassas, Manassas Park and (I think) Falls Church, as they're independent cities.

Falls Church has U.S. 29 (called Washington Street in the city).
