S. 50 - The Forgotten Highway write by Wendell Trogdon. This book was released on 1999-04-01. U. S. 50 - The Forgotten Highway available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Born in the footprints of a young surveyor named George Washington, U.S. 50 has deviated little from the path he mapped to the Ohio River. It remains a two-lane road - a "The Forgotten Highway" - through an America missed by those seeking the quickest drive between two points. It takes the skill of an attentive driver to negotiate the twists, turns, steep declines and sharp rises as the road snakes across a section of America most travelers never see. It remains intimate, enough so to allow visitors to share the joys and heartaches of the folks who live along the route. On this journey from the East Coast to Washington, the author finds the charm of dozens of small towns like Middleburg and Upperville (Va.) Romey and West Virginia (W. Va.), Athens and Chillicothe (Ohio), Vincennes and Versailles (Ind.) and Salem and Carlyle(Ill.). And he records conversations with museum keepers, mayors and an assortment of personalities that add to the flavor of this interesting travel guide. "Thanks again for another good book," June Gregg, Bainbridge, Ohio. " A wonderful book . . . an extensive job. I enjoyed it," Mayor Jimmy Colombo, Parkersburg, W. Va.

This book was released on 2020-08-27. Right of Way available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The face of the pedestrian safety crisis looks a lot like Ignacio Duarte-Rodriguez. The 77-year old grandfather was struck in a hit-and-run crash while trying to cross a high-speed, six-lane road without crosswalks near his son’s home in Phoenix, Arizona. He was one of the more than 6,000 people killed while walking in America in 2018. In the last ten years, there has been a 50 percent increase in pedestrian deaths. The tragedy of traffic violence has barely registered with the media and wider culture. Disproportionately the victims are like Duarte-Rodriguez—immigrants, the poor, and people of color. They have largely been blamed and forgotten. In Right of Way, journalist Angie Schmitt shows us that deaths like Duarte-Rodriguez’s are not unavoidable “accidents.” They don’t happen because of jaywalking or distracted walking. They are predictable, occurring in stark geographic patterns that tell a story about systemic inequality. These deaths are the forgotten faces of an increasingly urgent public-health crisis that we have the tools, but not the will, to solve. Schmitt examines the possible causes of the increase in pedestrian deaths as well as programs and movements that are beginning to respond to the epidemic. Her investigation unveils why pedestrians are dying—and she demands action. Right of Way is a call to reframe the problem, acknowledge the role of racism and classism in the public response to these deaths, and energize advocacy around road safety. Ultimately, Schmitt argues that we need improvements in infrastructure and changes to policy to save lives. Right of Way unveils a crisis that is rooted in both inequality and the undeterred reign of the automobile in our cities. It challenges us to imagine and demand safer and more equitable cities, where no one is expendable.

Download and read online ebook Forgotten Foster Park write by Gwen Alferes. This book was released on 2015. Forgotten Foster Park available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Surrounded by steeply sloped hillsides, Foster Park was a tiny rural community that took shape during the oil boom of the 1920s. It was situated at a bend on Highway 33 adjacent to Foster Memorial Park, for which it was named. Among the 50 or so homes was a thriving business district that most notably included a dance hall hosting musical greats of the time--such as Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Everly Brothers--and a saloon equipped with a boxing ring. The Ventura River, once loaded with giant steelhead trout, and the Southern Pacific Railroad both ran through the town. It has been described as unreal by some and a rural slum by others. With the makings of a Norman Rockwell portrait, it came to its end in the mid-1960s to make room for the hotly contested extension of the Ojai Freeway. To younger generations and newcomers of the area, Foster Park's former existence is virtually unknown.
