I figured after lurking for a while, I might as well join in on the fun. :cool: My name is Geoff, and I've lurked on many of your individual roads pages for years now, especially those that remind me of my native Connecticut. I enjoy trying to keep up with changes to places I've lived.
I was always a bit of a road geek as a child, and was happy to discover other like-minded people on the internet, especially those smart enough to document those sorts of changes over the years with photos. It's strange trying to explain to my wife stuff that I notice that catches my eye while on vacation, "ohh, there was a toll booth here until there was a giant deadly pileup" or "this bridge collapsed when I was a kid and my aunt was nearly on it at the time".
I was born and raised in Fairfield County, CT, too many towns to list individually. For whatever reason, we were very nomadic as a family, and found our way to Pennsylvania and finally Jacksonville, FL before graduating high school.
I came to college in Alabama and never really left, other than a few school vacations in Miami and one in Portsmouth, NH until my parents settled here permanently.
Since I've lived all over the place, and have traveled extensively, I hope I can jump in on a variety of subjects. But, I wanted to at least introduce myself first before adding to threads and having people wonder who the heck I was. :biggrin:
Howdy, from Texas!
I'm sure you'll enjoy it on here! I've always wanted to go to New England and the Eastern U.S. Farthest east I've been is Louisiana..
