Thanks for posting! These pictures are the only time I have ever seen this stretch of I-40 in Knoxville without an orange barrel.

Seriously, amazing huh?

Per site (Les Jones - Archive with Oldest Posts First) they are 1960.

@ orange barrels. I used to make sport of hitting them, but they kept popping back up... like whack-a-mole!

Great pics! And it kind of makes me sad to see what West Knox used to look like, particularly West Hills. And in the Papermill picture, I don't see Northshore Drive anywhere. Ah for the good old days!

Unhappy Now you see it; now you don't!
Jabogitlu, I am unfamiliar with the before photos entirely, but I do love seeing them after experiencing the here and now from those areas.

The pictures were great to see as well as your friend's website. Very clever and fun. Thanks for sharing!!
