Route 128...the first beltway run through suburbs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Route_128

America's Technology Highway.
Which was changed to America's Technology Region about six months after the BBS panels were installed, due to loud protests from members of the MA National Guard's Yankee Division.  MA 128 between Braintree and Gloucester was designated the Yankee Division Highway in 1948 by act of the Massachusetts Legislature.

I saw the "America's Technology Highway" signs for the first time around Labor Day of 1984 (definitely "highway," not "region").  When were they changed and/or removed?

Rough Guess using the above-info.:
Sept. 1984 + 6 months = March 1985  :bigass:

Yeah, I can add too, but there is no reason to assume the one time I was there before 1990 or so was when it was just put up.
