...Well, from PA most of the time anyway. I'm originally from central NJ, and still work in Mercer County. I moved down to Bristol a year and a half ago. Great to be here!
Most of my road experience is around PA and NJ, with trips all over the northeast. I also have an interest in roads around the Phoenix metro area since my parents moved out there a few years ago and I visit them a couple times a year.
Welcome to the board! I grew up in Northern Delaware and have spend a lot of time driving Philly area roads. Thinking on Mercer County, NJ, I have a night time video of I-295 temporarily ending at Bordentown around here somewhere.
Welcome from down I-95! I don't live too far from you. I live in Media.
Hello and welcome! I am from just up the road in Fairless Hills (spent the last 24 years in SE PA) and also work in Mercer County. I also have parents in Arizona -- a couple of hours north of Phoenix in Dewey. Strange . . .
Nice to have you on the board.

That brings back some memories. I used to live in Ocean County, and we'd come up to Princeton once in a while as a kid. I remember 195 ending with a ramp right onto 295N. Wish I'd been old enough to drive so I could have gone exploring.
I also recall there being some sort of smokestack fairly close to the highway, which had a flame coming out of it. Never was able to figure out where that was when I got older.

I need to take a trip down your way... that interchange with route 1 and 476 looks like a cluster.

That is a funny coincidence. Mine are actually in the west valley. Sun City West. Lots of fun road stuff happening out there. I go out every 6 months or so and it seems like roads just pop up out of nowhere. Guess it's easy to build when you have warm weather year-round and all you have to do is move some cacti out of the way. Oh, and a 1% sales tax to pay for it (yikes, shopping in glendale means like 9.5% on everything -- including clothing!).

I was born and raised in Bloomsburg near the junction of I-80 and US 11 and my parent's house is on the pre-1961 alignment of US 11.
