Interstate Sign Tomfoolery

Frequent drivers through Hartford on I-84 are familiar with the Hartford tunnel where a flurry of exits to I-91 and downtown make for a nice headache most weekday mornings and afternoons. Thankfully the weekends are rather quiet.

Today was no exception. I was one of a few cars traveling westbound on I-84 after eating a gut-busting lunch with some friends. As I approached the tunnel, I glanced over to read a sign at the entrance of the tunnel, which makes a southern gal like me chuckle a little. However, I more than chuckled when I noticed the "Yankee Expressway" sign had been replaced by a fine interstate sign replica which read "Wanker Expressway." Happy April Fools indeed!

I'm sad to say I was unable to snap a picture of the sign as I didn't have a camera handy. I have decided to try and get a picture tomorrow during my lunch break if the CTDOT doesn't ruin the fun. Unless, one of you happens to have a pic??

I have a picture of a wanker.

Wait, what were you asking?

Connecticut is where millionaires who ironically support socialism go to die.

Seems like I remember asking you to NOT share that.

There's nothing ironic about millionaires supporting socialism. As long as they're the ones deciding who gets the share of the money.

It was just a thumb-nail.

I tend to prefer shenanigans to tomfoolery.

My favorite highway sign is on the Yellowhead just as you're leaving Edmonton. It says something like "Alaska - 3000 KM" which seems very random to me. I mean, why didn't they do that for every state?

And, if 3000km isn't far enough for you, a little bit further, there's a non-major highway labeled "Alaska - Scenic route". I pity the children of anyone who thinks trying that road is a good idea.

My favorite interstate sign is this little dandy, which marks the first exit in TN heading south on I-75. I'm the speck standing next to it. Prior to that picture I had no idea just how frickin' huge interstate signs could be!

Don't know where it is and it's probably already been posted before, but I gotta say, this is still my favorite.

This was pretty much a Boston landmark. Then the Sux won. A couple thousand guys named Sully can die in peace now.

There's a sign in Missouri I've driven by dozens of times, but never stopped to take a picture.

Luckily, this guy did.

There's also this in Arkansas.

The Jersey Shore is a wonderland, filled with bronze sands, waves that lull you into sense of perfect tranquility, and cuisine to satisfy both the epicurian and the child inside.

It's no wonder that town fathers in a place so far removed from this seaside utopia would want to evoke its charms. So next time you're on a ride through the vast wastelands of the east, don't dare hope for a game of Skee Ball, an oversized hot pretzel with yellow mustard, or a game of beach bocce with a mafioso in Pennsylvania.

For context.

Not exactly a road sign, but when I head home after work, I'm going eastbound to Coleridgefosters.

Also in the line of tube stops:

I almost lived in Shepherd's Bush, and while I've never had an excuse to go to Mudchute, it is near Canada Water so I might do both one day.

This Treesap character is in my state. She doesn't seem too Gabberish. She's too nice and clean. Hmmm. Honing in on my schtick.

Welcome to GAB. I'll be leaving soon.

i have a picture of me at the bong recreation center standing on the big sign that says "Richard (I covered the 'ard' so it said Rich) Bong Recreation center." It's in Wisconsin.
