Oh, I meant before area codes/exchanges...wasn't it only 4 or 5 digits when dialing about 50-60 years ago? I first dealt with 10-digit dialing in 1995.

You may have missed the point. I was using
four-digit dialing as late as 1991. The town I grew up in didn't
begin using seven digits until the early 1990s.

That makes sense now that I think of it. (Does get foggy out on that part of Route 35). Having said that...still a relatively lightly traveled road compared to 99E/today's Business 80

Good year for CT roads: over 30 miles of new freeway; renumbering from 1961 reclassification winding down. The '60s have been great for highway construction and I don't see any sign of slowing down.
I-95 is now completed in CT! I was worried we'd be the last state to finish our portion :-) Just kidding, but I expect within 10 years you'll be able to drive I-95 without stopping from Maine to Miami.
CT 52: it's great to have a route number for that stretch of Turnpike, and it's eventually going to connect to I-90 in MA! Too bad CT 12 won't get signed on it... no 12 freeway as originally planned. But, spitballing here, how about an Interstate number once it's done? 490 is available.
How about a late 1965 Hartford meet? By then, there will be new sections of I-84, I-91, and the "Mixmaster" in E. Hartford open to traffic. (But there's so much going on here, we could have a meet every year! The state is so pro-highway, it's a great place for a roadgeek to live!)

Boy, that Robert Moses has some great plans in the works for transportation in the NYC area. That Mid-Manhattan Expressway will make it so much easier for traffic to get across town without all those traffic lights, and it will be great to see I-495 connect to its parent. And I can't wait till I-78 is finally finished from the Holland Tunnel to Throgs Neck. Make it a lot easier for people from Jersey, Lower Manhattan, and Brooklyn to get to Idlewild (oh, I forgot they call it JFK now).
I can't wait until later this year when you can finally drive to Staten Island without having to drive to Jersey to get there.
Anyone notice how they left room to the west of I-5, and room to the east of I-95? I wonder if US 101 will become I-1, and the Garden State Parkway will become I-99. It'll be really groovy if they build a bridge and tunnel over the Delaware Bay to connect with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel.

That bridge from Cape May to near Rehoboth would be a great connector between the two. No more having to endure that awful Route 13 traffic in Delaware. Hey, there's your I-97; down the Delmarva from Wilmington through Dover to the new bridge and tunnel near Norfolk. At least Jersey travel will be a little lighter on the wallet in a few years when they build the free I-95 south of Exit 10 on the Turnpike to connect to that new freeway that just opened a couple of years ago on the outskirts of Trenton. Heard it will eventually connect right into Center City Philadelphia. But you're right, making the Garden State I-99 and building that bridge would bring new people to the Jersey Shore resorts. Who knows; maybe one of them will become a boom town like Las Vegas.
Another couple of connections I heard Robert Moses talking about were bridges to and from Long Island. One that leads from Brooklyn to Sandy Hook, NJ and another one across Long Island Sound to either CT or RI.

I'm not sure if this is due to how I said it, but the dates are fine. Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel opened in 1964, so it's reasonable to think the next crossing further north could get the same bridge/tunnel crossing in 1964!

To that you can add "Oregon State to go to the Rose Bowl!". January 1st, 1965 was the last time the Beavers played in that bowl game. They lost to Michigan 34-7. Funny thing: OSU scored first! Tommy Prothro was the coach and since he did so well in Corvallis, someone at UCLA figured he would do great in LA. Prothro moved on.
OSU has the distinction of winning just one Rose Bowl and the game was not even played in Pasadena! Due to the attack on Pearl Harbor, OSU's game with Duke was moved to Durham NC. The Blue Devils went down by a count of 20-16.
Waiting over half a century for a return to the Rose Bowl is getting into Chicago Cubs territory...LOL!

I-80 is now open from Des Moines to Davenport, but I can't wait for the new bridge to open at Le Claire so you don't have to drive through Davenport, Bettendorf, and Moline (is that area called the Tri-Cities, Quad Cities, or Quint Cities?) on the way to Chicago.
And I just picked up a map at Texaco and can't believe Iowa 60 doesn't turn into Minnesota 60. You have Iowa 60 becoming Missouri 5 and Minn. 60 becoming Iowa 33.

Anyone Not Using 7-digit Dialing?
I could have answered "yes" to that question as late as 1991.
Well I'm sheltered...thought that was a thing of the past by the late-1960s!
We had 7-digit dialing in the Bay Area for years, even after the 415/650 split!!! I think only about two or three years ago did that finally go away for people in the SF and San Mateo County regions.

In many areas (and most metros) today, when area codes run out of numbers instead of splitting them up they overlay a new area code onto it. In my case, I could do 7-digit dialing in the 801 area code until around 2008, but then 385 was added to the 801 area, so now 10-digits are required.

Plenty on the old SP branches in the San Joaquin Valley (now owned by several independent regional RR's), particularly on secondary roads. All state highways and major county arterials have been long converted to gates. As they stop working (just like old RR semaphore signals, the parts availability is "machine it yourself"), they're simply replaced with crossbucks.

Imagine 1964 when it was a tough world for Gay men.
A male user receives a PM from a "friend" who lives in Los Angeles.
"hey, I know who you are, I am too" said the PM.
"How...and where do I find you...and what have to meet you there?" said the user.
"This: the first guide made for us - https://damron.com/product-category/damron-travel-guides (now in its 53rd year), the L.A. area's bars, clubs, hotels, restaurants and other places to meet, I know some places in West Hollywood, Long Beach, Laguna Beach, san Diego and Palm Springs, it's like the Green book by black motorists, but our time will come...perhaps the 21st century. Please pass this on to others you know".
In 1964, there were still places which refuse service to anyone they suspect are Jewish, as well Armenian (here in CA), Mexican or Latino, Chinese and Japanese, and Native American or Hawaiian. We may look back to the past as a "golden age", "happy days" or "innocence Lost", but there was more discrimination (also encountered by Women), prejudice (esp. Blacks), marginalization (the disabled), and intolerance (i.e. LGBT people) in American society back then.
