U.S. Route 95 (US 95) is a major U.S. highway traversing the U.S. state of Nevada from north to south directly through Las Vegas and providing connections to both Carson City (via US 50) and Reno (via Interstate 80). US 95 is cosigned with Interstate 80 for 95 miles (153 km) between a junction in Churchill County and Winnemucca before heading north into Oregon at McDermitt.
Along much of its course through Nevada, US 95 has signs designating it as the Veterans Memorial Highway. A portion of the route in Las Vegas northwest of downtown is also called the Oran K. Gragson Freeway, named for the Las Vegas mayor who advocated for construction of that portion of freeway in the 1960s.
North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.

Interesting! Before, SR-171 had connected to US-40 through a narrow, winding road that met up with Wasatch Boulevard. Bear in mind this was before I-80 was constructed. Well, here are the first signs of I-80 construction: an overpass. Well, that shield on the right ramp still reads SR-171. Strange, as I-415 was the route that was replacing that stretch of 171.
This photo is from one of 145 boxes I've been perusing at the State Archives in downtown. These photos come from the Utah Department of Transportation, and were taken mostly by Cal Briggs or Gerald E. Peterson. The photos are sorted by year (with the exception of the first several boxes), and span from 1965 to 1997. Most are black-and-white negatives, though one can find prints here and there, as well as color slides.
I have to hand it to the staff over there—without them, none of these photos would be on Flickr and they'd be sitting in some box for ages. My sincerest thanks goes out to them.

Historic Routing
Until 1964, U.S. 60 generally followed what is today the current Interstate 10 corridor, connecting downtown Los Angeles with San Bernardino and the desert cities of Palm Springs, Indio, and Blythe. U.S. 60 entered Arizona at the Colorado River bridge east of Blythe and west of Quartzsite. The combination of Interstate 10 and California 60 freeways was built in stages through the 1960s, and signage for U.S. 60 was gone by 1972. A portion of old U.S. 60 is today part of the California 60 freeway between San Dimas and Beaumont; the California 60 freeway west of San Dimas was never signed as U.S. 60. The route was cosigned with U.S. 70 from Beaumont east to the Arizona State Line near Blythe and with U.S. 99 from Beaumont east to Indio.

The blue arrow indicates the 1936 built overpass alignment over the railroad. This was the 2 lane route of the State Highway LRN-26 then designated US-99 (Us-60 and 70 were cosigned). Prior to 1936 there was an s-curve and street level crossing of the railroad. The lower Jefferson-Indio Blvd I-10 'Off-Ramp' was built in 1958 as part of the construction of Interstate 10 through Riv. Co.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW ARTIST SIMP’S MIXTAPE THE CHALLENGER NOW AVAILABLE
Catch Live Performance Friday at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta
Atlanta, January 11, 2010 — SIMP’s much anticipated sophomore mixtape is now available for download free at www.SIMP247.com. The mixtape includes tracks from some of the most popular hiphop anthems of the last decade.
After great deliberation on what his new mixtape should include, SIMP settled on answering the requests of his supporters. Confident in his lyrical ability, SIMP fans suggested he lace his unique style and message over some of the most difficult and hard-to-top hiphop tracks. He answered their call with the birth of the appropriately named collection, titled, “The Challenger.”
Last week, SIMP dropped the debut video off of “The Challenger” mixtape, titled “Run This Town,” on YouTube. To date, the reviews and comments have confirmed that he has something that is needed in today’s hiphop genre. YouTube user, Jkmarsh commented “It's good to be able to understand what you’re saying and to hear a different message than the same old same old.” Daddesangel03 remarked, “I love it, you never cease to amaze me with you talent,” and MediaAmerica cosigned with “The dopest…ever.”
On Friday, January 15, 2010, SIMP will be performing cuts off of “The Challenger” in Atlanta at Smith’s Olde Bar. Smith’s Olde Bar is located at 1578 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta, GA 30307. SIMP’s show starts at 8 pm.
SIMP’s “The Challenger” is available for immediate download at www.SIMP247.com. Downloaders will find a special surprise as there is a guest drop by someone who is truly press worthy of CNN headlines. The guest spot comes from one of the most influential media figures in network broadcasting and a very unlikely endorser of a hiphop mixtape.
For interview requests, please contact Jonnice Slaughter at jslaughter at chatterboxpublicity (dot) com. For booking and appearances, contact Duran Butler (301) 848-1607.
About SIMP
SIMP is an Atlanta-based Hip Hop newcomer, whose style and influence reflect the greats such as Nas, Lupe Fiasco and Common. His latest project, “The Challenger,” is his second independent mixtape release.

Best Theater in West
The Texas Historical Commission plaque in front of this building has this to say:
"Constructed by town founder Thomas M. West and local contractor J. E. Bridges about 1890 this building housed two saloons until prohibition in 1919 prompted its conversion into a grocery store and bakery. Jim Tobola modified the building in 1923 to house the Best Theater which offered vaudeville, local entertainment, and movies before closing in 1976. The building's whimsical architecture includes metal semi-circular awnings and cast concrete globe-like finials."
This is on Main Street which shows on Google Maps as a continuation of Old Dallas Road. Wikipedia states that US-77 was cosigned with US-81 between Waco and Hillsboro; this is my basis for posting this photo to the U. S. Highway 81 group, West being between those two cities.
A Lady Writing - c. 1665
Johannes Vermeer
Dutch, 1632 - 1675
Above all, Johannes Vermeer was a painter of light. In this exquisite painting, diffused light softly illuminates the tabletop, the woman’s face, and her rich lemon-yellow morning jacket. Accents on the pearls decorating her jewelry box, her earrings, and her satin hair ribbons further enliven the image. The woman’s open gaze engages the viewer, which suggests that the painting may be a portrait instead of a generalized portrayal of a young woman at her writing table.
Johannes Vermeer became a master in the Saint Luke’s Guild of Delft on December 29, 1653. At that time he specialized in history painting, and his first works were large-scale mythological and religious paintings. Shortly thereafter he began to paint the genre scenes, landscapes, and allegories for which he has become so renowned. Even though Vermeer's subject matter changed in the mid-1650s, he continued to imbue his later works with the quiet, intimate moods he had preferred in his early history paintings. His oeuvre is small: only 35 paintings are currently attributed to the master.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Vermeer also was an art dealer in Delft. There is no documentation of his artistic training or apprenticeship, but in 1653 he became a master in the Saint Luke’s Guild in Delft; he would serve as head of that guild four times in the 1660s and 1670s. Although he was well regarded in his lifetime, he was heavily in debt when he died in 1675. Only in the late 19th century did Vermeer achieve widespread fame for his intimate genre scenes and quiet cityscapes.
The life and art of Johannes Vermeer are closely associated with the city of Delft. He was born in Delft in 1632 and lived there until his death in 1675. His father, Reynier Vermeer, was a silk weaver who produced caffa, a fine satin fabric, but in 1631 he also registered in the Saint Luke’s Guild in Delft as a master art dealer. By 1641 he was sufficiently prosperous to purchase a large house, the “Mechelen,” which contained an inn on the market square in Delft and from which he probably also sold paintings. When Reynier died in 1652 Johannes apparently inherited his business. By that time he must have already decided on a career as a painter. It is assumed that he trained in Delft, perhaps with Bramer, Leonard, who seems to have had close associations with Vermeer’s family, or with Fabritius, Carel. No documents, however, exist about his artistic training or apprenticeship, and he may have studied elsewhere, perhaps in Utrecht or Amsterdam.
Vermeer, who was baptized on October 31, 1632, in the Reformed Church in Delft, was raised a Protestant. In April 1653, however, he married into a Catholic family and seems to have converted to Catholicism shortly before that date to placate his future mother-in-law, Maria Thins, who lived in the so-called Papenhoek (Papists’ Corner) of Delft, adjacent to the Jesuit church on the Oude Langendijck, one of two hidden churches where Catholics could worship. Vermeer and his wife, Catharina Bolnes, eventually moved into her house. They named their first daughter Maria and their first son Ignatius, after the patron saint of the Jesuit order.
Vermeer became a master in the Saint Luke’s Guild on December 29, 1653. His early aspiration was to be a history painter, and his first works were large-scale mythological and religious paintings. Shortly thereafter he began to paint the genre scenes, landscapes, and allegories for which he became so renowned. Although Vermeer’s subject matter changed in the mid-1650s, he nevertheless continued to imbue his later works with the quiet, intimate moods he had preferred in his early history paintings.
Very little is known about Vermeer’s relationships with other painters who might have influenced the thematic and stylistic directions of his art. He apparently knew Borch the Younger, Gerard ter, with whom he cosigned a document in 1653. Another artist who may well have had an impact on his work during the 1650s was Hooch, Pieter de, who painted comparable scenes in Delft during that period. Vermeer remained a respected artist in Delft throughout the rest of his life. He was named hoofdman of the Saint Luke’s Guild in 1662, 1663, 1670, and 1671.
Vermeer’s few works—they number about thirty-five—were not well known outside of Delft. It has been postulated that many of his paintings were concentrated in the collection of a patron in that city who seems to have had a special relationship with the artist. When Vermeer died, however, he was heavily in debt, in part because his art-dealing business had suffered during the difficult economic times in the Netherlands in the early 1670s. He was survived by his wife and eleven children, ten of whom were minors. His wife petitioned for bankruptcy the following year. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the famed Delft microscopist, was named trustee of the estate.
Vermeer’s works were appreciated during the eighteenth century, but his fame did not develop until the late nineteenth century, partly a result of enthusiastic appraisal by the French critic Théophile Thoré, whose pseudonym was William Bürger

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art. With its prime location on the National Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian Institution, visitors often think that the museum is a part of the Smithsonian. It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Art
Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

Décembre 2006/Janvier 2007. Les Enfants de Don Quichotte au canal Saint-Martin. Série démarrée le 16 décembre. En cours. La série raconte la vie du campement de l’aube jusqu’au soir. Quelques minutes après l'installation des premières tentes, Augustin Legrand fait une déclaration de bienvenue au mégaphone aux SDF et bien logés venus camper.
Depuis le 16 décembre 2006, l’association les Enfants de Don Quichotte a posé plusieurs centaines de tentes sur les rives du canal Saint-Martin à Paris dans le but d’« exiger de l'État l'application du droit à une vie descente pour tous sur le territoire français ». Leur action fait l’actualité pendant les fêtes de fin d'année et des tentes sont posées dans de nombreuses grandes villes de France. Le gouvernement propose le 7 janvier un accord aux Enfants de Don Quichotte se basant sur la charte du canal Saint-Martin, cosignée par la plupart des associations d'aide aux SDF : élaboration d'une loi de logement opposable, réforme des services d'hébergement et de l'aide aux SDF, déblocage d'une enveloppe de 110 millions d'euros d'aide d'urgence, proposition de logement et d'aide à tous les SDF qui ont participé à l'action des Enfants de Don Quichotte...
Location: Tacoma, Washington
The C.O.C.C. Baseball team needed to make a pit stop at an old gas station/mechanic shop near the outskirts of town -- that is if Tacoma really had any outskirts then this would be it.
Neglected vehicles and parts carpeted the backlot. Forgotten by all expect time. The corrosive effects of the northwestern climate began to slowly eat away the protective layers of the cars. As the metal under the protective layers of paint oxidizes rust then creeps in steadily peeling back the paint. No worries on how long it takes. Time is on rust's side.
Maybe one day the owner will take this car out to a nice field with a nice view. The wet seasons will come and go the destructive nature of western Washington's climate with relentlessly chip and tear at the remainder of car until it is recycled or becomes so corroded that it is just another part of the landscape.

Even then those roadcars would very likely see time on a racetrack, rather from Scaletti's own team or through privateer efforts. Few cars in Scaletti's history reflect this more than the Mugello GTO. The name "GTO" reflects this, meaning "Gran Turismo Omologato", Italian for Grand Touring Homologation. The Mugello GTO was built with racing at the forefront, so much so that when the GTO was unveiled, it wasn't alone. Right alongside it was the Mugello GTC. Standing for "Gran Turisomo Competizione", its not hard to figure out what it's purpose is. In fact, the name isn't even necessary. The car speaks for itself.
Getting the Mugello GTC to go racing was so important to Scaletti that they petitioned the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile to get the Mugello GTC waivered to race that very year before the road car would be available for sale, which they succeeded in. This meant that the racing version would explicitly precede the road version instead of the roadcar being made from previous motorsports data and then the racing version being made after, a first for Scaletti. Great for them, as the Mugello GTC was certainly shaping up to be a performer. Tested exclusively at the track of its namesake, it meat all the requirements of a GT-class racecar. Impressive aero, lightweight construction, and of course quite powerful. 1,100 horses as per the class restrictions, in fact. This power came from the Mugello's naturally-asperated V12, modified from the one that would be seen in the roadcar. This extra power meant the GTC was predictably quicker than the roadcar with a 0-60 acceleration almost under 2 seconds. Top speed was actually slower at just over 220 MPH due to aerodynamic drag from the aggressive bodywork. The Mugello GTC was truly an incredible demonstration of Scaletti's motorsports prowess, and was expected to dominate the World Endurance Championship it debuted it. While it would be formidable, victory is never promised, as Scaletti would quickly discover.
The Mugello GTC would quickly earn some wins in a couple events around Europe, but it was when the World Endurance Championship came to italy. Specifically the Mugello Cuircuit, Scaletti's "home" track and where the Mugello GTC both got its name and was exclusively tested at. Confident that this event virtually belonged to them, Scaletti would host this race themselves, personally inviting members of the automotive press, VIPs, Governing Motorsports members, and more. When the race finally happened, it was about as fierce as they come...and to the shock of the entire automotive world, Scaletti didn't cross the finish line first. That honor went to rookie team Rogue Motorsports from the United States, with all 3 of their Firepower FCR1 racecars taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Scaletti was behind them the entire time. This was their home turf. The Mugello GTC was practically created here. And it publicly lost to a bunch of upstarts from halfway across the world in one of the greatest upsets in modern motorsports. Needless to say, Rogue Motorsports made a bad enemy that day.
The Mugello GTO roadcar would sell out, Scaletti's other roadcars would continue to sell well for their class, and Scudaria Scaletti was still very much considered one of the best teams in motorsports. But that loss at their home track would forever be a scar on their pride that would never fully heal. While they would go on to claim some victories over Rogue Motorsports, even on some American tracks, it almost seemed like it was nothing for Scaletti when that year's World Endurance Championship would come to its grand finale at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. And Rogue would again take the win. In the following years of the Mugello GTC's racing career it would frequently swap victories with Rogue Motorsports, earning a victory at Le Mans for itself down the line. Its seemingly rocky start wouldn't do much to shake the reputation the Mugello GTC would earn as a fantastic racecar that overall succeeded at its purpose, but it would be noted that the leadership of Scudaria Scaletti would never be able to really get over how things began. Regardless the Mugello GTC would see race time with privateer teams after Scudaria Scaletti retired it, much like its rival car the Rogue Firepower FCR1, ensuring their battles would continue even after their creators were done with them.
Regardless of what Scaletti themselves believe its inarguable that the Mugello GTC was a fantastic racecar that deserved to see the circuits before its roadgoing counterpart saw the streets. Its the focal point of one of the biggest rivalries in modern motorsports that fans can't get enough of, and once it was truly retired from racing it became just as much of a collector's item as its roadgoing variant. What may give the Mugello GTC its allure however is that its a central piece of something that hasn't been seen since. While Rogue Motorsports would race in Endurance class races long after they retired the Firepower FCR1, none of their flagship models would ever truly compete against another purpose-built Scaletti flagship in the class. The next Rogue flagship, the Blazefury, would only see time in motorsports as an experimental-class vehicle, and other flagships after it would similarly follow. None were ever truly ran against GTE-class cars, thus meaning that a battle of titans like what was seen with the Mugello GTC and Firepower FCR1 is something that has been firmly cosigned to the history books.

The end of Route 15 North as it merges onto I-84 East in East Hartford. Up until the early/mid 1980s, Route 15 was cosigned along this portion of I-84, which was I-86 until the early 1980s, up to the Mass Pike in Sturbridge, MA. Exit numbers were continuous with those of Route 15, until I-84 got rerouted back to its present route.
CT 25 Southbound at Exit 6 in Bridgeport, CT. Just ahead, CT 8 South will join with CT 25 and the two will be cosigned to I-95.
MA 128 Northbound at Exit 38 in Peabody, MA. MA 128 is cosigned with I-95 from here south to Canton, hence why this is now Exit 38 and not Exit 1. And with mile-based exits, exits count up from here, instead of counting down with the old backwards system.
I-49 cosigned with US 71 south of Carthage. I-49 was officially dedicated in Missouri on December 12 and is duplexed with US 71 most of its length

This on Main Street which shows on Google Maps as a continuation of Old Dallas Road. Wikipedia states that US-77 was cosigned with US-81 between Waco and Hillsboro; this is my basis for posting this photo to the U. S. Highway 81 group, West being being between those two cities.
Valley Blvd at 8th St (renamed La Cadena)
Valley Blvd carried The Los Angeles to Imperial Hwy - later cosigned with LRN 26/ Us 99/70 until 1937 when a new more direct alignment was built just to the south and Valley Blvd now cut off from the mainstream of travel began its slide.
