Favorite Roadgeek City As A Kid?

I upset my Mom and Dad once by asking if horizontal traffic signals were legal.

They were...upset by that?

It's a very serious issue in the Dan household.

Or, children were not allowed to ask questions of their parents altogether therein.

That seems like it would be a tremendous way to produce a child that doesn't know anything at all.

This was probably more a Dad thing than a Mom thing, in all honesty. I don't think he liked being bothered with having to think about stuff and still doesn't.

Albany, NY.  The whole exit 24 interchange was super-interesting, plus I-787 and I-890 have really high numbers.

Greensboro, NC was pretty fascinating to me. We'd pass through it on our annual road trips to Georgia and it was always fun to watch all the routes over there evolve in real time. To this day I'm not used to the fact that I-840 is actually complete.

Part of me also misses this:

Detroit

Detroit felt alien as a kid given the industrial aesthetic.  Still kind of feels that way as an adult.  The Lodge Freeway around Cobo Hall was a particular favorite of mine as a kid.  The walkways above the freeway didn't resemble anything else I had seen to that point.

The first time I ever saw Tiger Stadium as a kid I thought it was a battleship. I mean when you were coming southbound on the Fisher and could see the tall light towers in the distance and the way the stadium looked. Then I learned that's where they place baseball and thought that's what all baseball stadiums were supposed to look like.
