Harbor Freight

Anything is a restaurant if it's got edible items (granted, you can eat the items, but your lifespan afterwards may vary).

I finally took the time to update the Goofs & Fails Map and Button Copy Signs pages on my website over the past few days:

• Added several hundred new points from across the U.S. and Japan to the Goofs & Fails Map from my large backlog dating back to October 2025.
• Added new pictures of a Button Copy Sign on I-40 in Oklahoma and I-75 in Ohio, and replaced pictures of signs on I-40 in New Mexico and I-17 in Arizona.

Pick an upcoming roadmeet or city meet.  What would be a good restaurant option in that city for everyone to gather at for a meal?

Well, clearly the worst answer is any upcoming road meet and McDonald's.

There's a reason why New Urbanists call them "stroads".

The reason is because they like inventing stupid-sounding words.

For the Houston meet, how about the OnCue at Westheimer Road and Beltway 8? This would be ideal since we didn't get a chance to visit any OnCues at the last Oklahoma City meet.

Would you look at this menu!

Location Amenities:
Bean to Cup, Donuts, Fountain Drinks, FreezeeCue, Fuel – 100% Gas, Fuel – Diesel, Fuel – Ethanol, Gift Card, OnCue Kickback Rewards, Tacos, The Grill on the go, Beer Cave, Roller Grill, Trecca, Fuel - E85, Jolly Rancher Slush, Wifi - customer, The Grill, EV Station, Drive Thru, Pizza

i think the entirety of I-40 up to Wilmington, NC should be CA 58. who's with me

I support this just because I want to see if ODOT can fuck up a miner's spade worse than Caltrans can.

Except that it already has those shields, and so there's no cost justification for changing them...

So just change them out when the existing ones get run over by semis or whatever else it is that causes them to get replaced. I assume at least some of the signs on that highway are newer than 1959.

It is also part of the chargeable mileage, and so dropping that mileage would mean that California would likely need to refund the Federal funds used to construct that segment.

There are plenty of chargeable Interstates that aren't signed as such when the Interstate designation isn't seen as aiding in navigation. I-444, for example. So I'm not sure why Caltrans would need to refund anything if they just decided to sign CA 40 from now on.

One interesting thing if I-40 was extended to Bakersfield (but not all the way to I-5) would be a 2di terminating at a State highway. This does not seem to be very common at all.

I-11 ends at NV 157, so it's not entirely unheard of. (The roadbed continues as US 95, which is probably how they got that approved.)

The opposite end just terminates at the Arizona state line and doesn't even touch a state highway junction.  I honestly do see a big deal with an Interstate corridor ending at a state highway or something like a state line.

But it continues as US-93.
