Oh hey, so here’s a painting of the New Jersey Turnpike in Secaucus. Acrylic on mdf, 10”x8”. Check it out in person tomorrow, at the ArtHouse Jersey City Fridays handmade market at the Grove Street PATH Plaza, 1-9pm. #art #artSky #fineArt #acrylic #meadowlands #landscapeArt #turnpike #NewJersey

I'm glad Dino steps out and acrually talks about it. Glad we can have another platform.

21 years ago this week, I went to the Abandoned PA Turnpike Tunnels for the first time. I have been back about 20 times since. Every time I go still feels like a spiritual experience.

The attached post is from my prior account but has a couple pictures of The Tunnels.

Is this the original 1780 mile stone? I don't know, but its style, its wear, the script used on it and the unusual wording (using 'distance from' rather than 'distance to') all suggest this earliest possible date is certainly feasible.

Mile stones like this became compulsory on all turnpike roads in the UK in 1767, and this particular stone is on the route of the turnpike between Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock which was created in 1780. This makes me suspect that the mile stone after which Two Mile House was named was installed when this turnpike opened.

On a map from the 1810s (shown on the bottom here) is a house marked Two Mile House, the distance to Glasgow given on the stone. This makes me think the house is named after the distance on the stone (rather than the other way round), possibly pushing that date back to the start of the 1800s.

Transportation should build wealth, not destroy it. Yet North America is swarmed with pushed boondoggle projects like ACCESS Oklahoma that require demolishing businesses, homes, and farmland for “better connection.”

There are still many reminders of what is known as the turnpike era across Glasgow, mostly in the names of major road junctions, such as Eglington Toll, Paisley Road Toll, but also in terms of old toll buildings and other related structures.

This particular post was part of an old toll gatehouse known Parkhouse Toll which operated turnpike roads between the 1780s and 1888 from Glasgow to Greenock via Govan and to Paisley.
