The date of manufacture of that purty gussied up pea shooter is...?

In my family we still call it Uncle Jesse's Path!





Yes, I did use wiki!

and I found this gem "The famed Chisholm Trail, about which more has been written than any other Southwestern Trail, cannot be traced in Texas for the reason that it never existed in this State."

They added "defense" to the list of uses for the road in order to get enough votes to appropriate the money to build it. No one wanted to be against "defense," (which used to be called "war," back when) right?

I seem to remember I-35 being referred to as "the interregional," but I can't remember the last time I heard that.

I think I'll start calling it "The Thirty Five." Makes me think of swimming pools, movie stars. And it's just a beat up old highway, anyway. Call it what you will.
