It’s crazy how much this road has changed since

This was updated 12 years ago I’m convinced this is his final upload

7:33 Back off you a following way too close.

I was fortunate to drive this earlier 2024. I took US 25 a lot to see the difference between driving on the Interstate vs old U.S. highway. What a feat of engineering.

alh

This was made a year before I was born and the streets look the exact same as they do now

I remember when I drove there in 2014 to the Mexican restaurant on high Street that got sold in 2015. It used to be a really bad and sketchy part of town you’ll see drug use homeless people everywhere trash needles, rundown areas abandoned factories, police driving everywhere.luckily after 2020 they really cleaned that city up

This iS OH-IO baby !!!

Lakeland, Florida's city budget is twice what Fort Shame's is. LOL

Used to live there. Will always be home 😢

Now it's a nice highway through beautiful country but in the 1960s it was very different. 2 Lane road hugging the hill sides, slow trucks and old 35 came into downtown Jackson onto cobblestone streets. The traffic lights were only red and green - no yellow. Thanks for the memories.

Marietta is a great town if you are settled and have a family. There isn't much to do there socially for young people unless they are attending Marietta College which was quite laid back in the early 90s when I lived there. I worked at Ohio Power Company when it was still operating in the early 90s, and the commute to and from Beverly, Ohio each day to work at the power plant was a bit much from Marietta, especially when called out to work in the middle of the night. Marietta was the only medium sized town close enough to work and descent enough in size to hold any interest. Use to drive to Parkersburg, WV occasionally. Terrible what Dupont did to the Parkersburg area drinking water systems.

It's too fast

I drove that route on my way to NC many years ago but it was night time when I took over the wheel in Berea KY

Man this really takes me back.I lived in Williamsburg, KY for 40+ years before moving to Michigan.I lived there when this was filmed✌️

The slowpoke on the old US 35 was Exhibit A for why most people drive on the US 35 freeway instead.

275 actually was 75 until they changed it to 275 so nowthe western half of 640 and 75 are together

It's drastically different now, wider, faster, dirty.. it used to be a clean, nice drive.. now it's like a racetrack and filthy in comparison..

You can turn left onto a one way street from a one way street at a red light.

Wait a minute, It was I-465 and I-74. It was dusk out here for kind like Louisville I-65 3:24

Nice

Hey are you related to freeway Jim?

I distinctly having early memories of the opening credits of the show One Day at a Time (set in Indianapolis) having directions on a freeway sign with Columbus. Now it's most likely Dayton would be on it.

Between the exits to the Airport/I-670 and Greenlawn Ave, things have changed.

Good news folks: I-75 is now three lanes each way from Exit 29 (US 25E) to the KY/OH state line

I64_ l55_70_ woud i64 i55

New Exit Numbers: 97-SR 138 100- CR 87 Frankfurt 107-CR 550 Pleasant Valley 108- To US 50 (Westbound Exit, Eastbound Entry) 110- SR 104, To SR 107, To US 23 North 112- SR 159, BUS US 23, To US 23 North 115- US 50 West To US 23 South (Eastbound Exit, Westbound Entry) 117-US 50 East Athens 126-Richmond Dale

Great Job On Spartanburg

We've Been Down This Stretch From Asheville To Spartanburg.And Taking I-85 Through Greensboro Charlotte And Then Took 421( Future I-685) Through Sanford Lillington And Dunn.Where We Picked Up I-95 North

Camden South Carolina Is Home Of Broadstreet Consulting My Special Lady 🚺Friend Used To Work There But Is Now In Oriental Outside Of New Bern In Real Estate This Stretch Of I-20 Between Columbia And Florence (I-95) Reminds Me Of U S Hwy 421(Future I-685) Between Greensboro Siler City And Sanford

Love This Song And Video Of I-26 To I-20 Heading To Columbia

This was before there were exit numbers on US 35

What great fond memories......

By the way, US 35 now has exit numbers in Ross County. they are: 117- US 50 East (Athens) 115- US 50 West to US 23 South 112- SR 159, BUS 23, to US 23 North 110- SR 104 108- To US 50 107- CR 550 (Old US 35) (Pleasant Valley) 100- CR 87 (Frankfurt) 97- SR 138

The I-471 bridge to Kentucky is similar to the bridge in Pittsburgh

To be honest, they should look into rerouting I-70 onto what is now I-470 and make the existing I-70 (including the short stretch of "Super-2") Business Loop I-70.

It's called Uptown, and holy shit what is that horrible music?

We love Pete Rose

Children’s Hospital wasn’t a fucking city yet, and I was still a patient and in my 20s haha😂

Nice flashback. The town in 2023 has really transformed from industry to quait. Note: Hamilton once, maybe still does, hold the nation's highest population of any city that did not have direct access to an interstate exit

Ever since they put in those express lanes back in the 90s, I-271 has been a perpetual construction zone (always some part of it being worked on) lol...

Thanks for the tour. Missing my hometown. Walked most of those streets, many times.

I miss going on I-77. Used to go up from Southeast Ohio out of Marietta up to Akron very often when I was younger. But as I got into high school in the late 90s, my mom found out she could take State Rt 13 all the way to 93 into Zanesville, take 70 East and then get to I-77. I do miss those drives. But now, I can watch them here! Big fan of highway videos. Thank you so much!

I remember Canton in the 60s and Beyond when I lived there. Where were the people on the sidewalks? I remember Meyers Lake and when they tore it down, what a god-awful shame!

That road is so different then it was in 1970

As someone who currently lives on exit 41 I wasnt three when this video come out so it’s kind of weird to see it closed then

As far as I know, the crane at 2:10 still flies the American Flag today. Even 10 years later in 2022. I haven't been by it in awhile, a good year or so, but last I saw it still was.
