I was around from beginning to end of the great era of highway construction in the U.S., and the stories of businesses going broke because the formerly main highway was now a backwater, of businesses, homes and farms obliterated, were commonplace. The common attitude then was "aww, that's too bad, but you can't stop progress." |
