I think there are quite a few cities that owe their existence to US-30. The place where I spent most of my adolescent and teen life, Merrillville, IN, sits squarely on top of the intersection of US-30 and I-65. (And probably introduces more stop lights per mile to 30 than any other location along its length.) What's amusing is that I've taken 30 from here to the east coast before, but no further west than Illinois. Though I am hoping to move to either Oregon or Washington at some point in '05 so when I do I guess I can just hop on good ol' 30 and start driving. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
