US 30 Life Photos

[Brandon]

Found this one via The Truth About Cars.  It's Life photos of US 30 in 1948, complete with a route shield from Nebraska.  The blog is in Spanish, but the pictures speak for themselves.

Bring back the cutouts!

Firefox and Google Translate identified the blog as being in Portuguese.

I confirm, this is Portugese. I'd be able to read it if it was Spanish. ;p

Those skip white stripes on a two-lane road bring back childhood memories.

My guess would be Brazilian (not peninsular) Portuguese.  I can read a little of it, but as ever with Portuguese and its dialects, I get tripped up by do instead of de and the pronouns and articles without l (think "As Neves" instead of "Las Nieves").

Anyway, this is a fantastic link.

There's a ticker on the right side of the blog showing visitors from county.  Brazil is the top one listed.

I"m guessin all of those old motels and SERVICE stations (not just GAS stations) are prolly all gone.  It would be so cool to go back and experience those places.  not just on US 30, but all old US hwys.

I just added one to their list for Brazil. I could probably translate it, but I don't really have the time and Google Translate probably gets sort-of-close enough.
