Had a thread about this a couple of years ago: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=21041

I want to say there was a more recent one, but I'm having trouble finding it.

Shall we do a merge in order to revive that thread?

MORE FUN THAN HUMANLY THOUGHT POSSIBLE

Former drive-in theater in Yakima, Washington that still has a US-410 logo in neon in the sign.  Since decertified to state route 410, and ends several miles out of town.  Also has "INDOOR" superimposed over "DRIVE-IN," even though the later-added indoor auditorium would be more usefully painted on the sign when it could be seen in the daytime.  Picture taken about 1999.  The location today.

Dejavu.  I thought we had this before.  I guess not I imagined it, as if we did NE2 would post here cursing the thread out.

Anyway, anything called Route 66 on the old historic US 66 alignment.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

East 74 Restaurant here in the Charlotte area is on US 74's old alignment.

Viking Drive in Eden Prairie, MN used to run in front of the Minnesota Vikings' team headquarters and facilities, but the team opened a new facility in Eagan a couple years ago.

Isn't that the opposite of this thread?  It's a road whose name refers to a business that used to be on it–not a business whose name refers to a road it's not longer on.
