Why did SSR 178 west of Bakersfield become SSR 58?  Is the Divisions of Highways trying to pull a fast one and say this the new corridor of the future after building a new road?

To that you can add "Oregon State to go to the Rose Bowl!".  January 1st, 1965 was the last time the Beavers played in that bowl game.  They lost to Michigan 34-7.  Funny thing: OSU scored first!  Tommy Prothro was the coach and since he did so well in Corvallis, someone at UCLA figured he would do great in LA.  Prothro moved on.

OSU has the distinction of winning just one Rose Bowl and the game was not even played in Pasadena!  Due to the attack on Pearl Harbor, OSU's game with Duke was moved to Durham NC.  The Blue Devils went down by a count of 20-16.

Waiting over half a century for a return to the Rose Bowl is getting into Chicago Cubs territory...LOL!

And the Minnesota Golden Gophers have waited even longer.

The biggest topic: Should we have a John F Kennedy named everything?

Example: the John F Kennedy Space Center in Cape Kennedy (or Cape Canaveral) Florida.

In Indio, CA, there's a John F Kennedy Elementary school (I didn't attend that one, I went to Dwight Eisenhower and infamous: Andrew Jackson schools - I'm part-Cherokee )...and John F Kennedy Memorial Hospital - also there's an Eisenhower Medical center in Rancho Mirage.

Obviously, this is a nod to the 2064 thread.
If this forum had been around in 1964, what thread topics would there have been?  I'll start.

These widely recognized projects opened in 1964 --

If they are doing anything like Missouri Highway Department seems to be doing, probably build new roadway.
