Title: Lodi Mission Arch (US 99 and Lincoln Highway road side attraction)
Post by: Max Rockatansky on July 07, 2019, 11:38:43 AM
While out and about on road this past holiday weekend I stopped by downtown Lodi to see the 1907 Lodi Mission Arch on the east corner of Pine Street and Sacramento Street.  While Sacramento Street in Lodi never became a major highway in the 20th Century the Lodi Mission Arch was a noted attraction for the Lincoln Highway (which was on Lower Sacramento Street) and early US 99 (Cherokee Lane).  You don't really tend to see too many old roadside structures like the Lodi Mission Arch anymore, so I though it was worth a quick look:

Stuck in Lodi again.  Next time I will not try to haul a wide load through the Lodi Arch...LOL!

Come to North Bend OR to see a classic neon sign across 101 just south of the McCullough Bridge.  Grants Pass OR has an even better one with "It's The Climate" being the operative phrase.  Actually our coastal climate is more mild than the Caveman City has but hey, Chamber of Commerce and all that you know!
