Be nice to know where all these are.

The first one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Woodward_Ave_Detroit_1942.jpg) is Woodward Avenue in Detroit, 1942.

The third one appears to be some sort of Edsel Pacer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel_Pacer) promotional photo (three in the same place)?

That "Death Here" sign is creepy, to say the least.

My dad said the "Death Here" sign is because someone actually did die there in an accident.  It is much how people put up crosses around here for the same reason.

I appear to have sprouted some kind of large boner-like structure.

I should definitely know this, but where is that third-to-last one?  color photo, orange suspension bridge.

Looks like the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver.

That seems very plausible.  I faintly remember that the causeway had a place to turn around somewhere in the middle.  The picture would also have to predate the parallel span.

The only other plausible place that I can think of is the chesapeake (sp?) bay bridge tunnel

'tis, a bit south of the midpoint. You can actually see the parallel span in the background.

However, CBBT didn't have mid-span turnarounds.

That, and the second span is relatively new.
