Why Oregon?

I found the pic on the web. It's a modification of a picture of the standard notice the Oregon Health Department puts up on restaurants it closes for health code violations. It seemed so perfect I had to use it. I could have erased the red border, but it wouldn't have looked as good.

Aye, I am familiar with Oregon signage ( <-----). I was just curious.

The second pic could use cropping, i.e.

Yeah, probably. And I'd like to go back into the stoplight pic and restore some of the texture in the middle of the red lense (I had to paint out the word "stop"). But I'd just finished them, and then Photoshop crashed, and I said the hell with it for today.

Shep, how many times must I remind you NOT to quote pics?

The fuck? SDN apparently exits onto the Beltway, aka I-495 in Washington!

That's the Long Island Expressway here.

2## and 4## freeways are short bypasses of I-## within cities. I-405, for example, bypasses part of Portland, OR on I-5.

I was going to ask what the exit number stood for. Then I slapped myself.

So why I-495? Because it was there? Or does that have some kind of other meaning?

The 495 is the Long Island Expressway out by me. It is a most evil road.

I see. I went driving through New York, once. A long time ago. What's that funny name bridge around there again? TappinZee or something? I know there's one up there, but don't remember if it went into NY or not.

Yeah, Tappanzee. We also have the Throg's Neck.

That supposedly stands for something. The sign I saw it on had the caps in the middle and stuff. Which is why I remembered it.

And Throg's Neck? That's an interesting one...

*sigh* I need a Thread closed pic of my own, but lack the skills to make one.

Have a very nice day.

How about something based on Soviet Russia? I'm sure Pablo can help.

What do you mean, like TapPanZee?

I have no idea how Throg's Neck came about either.
