The interstate’s infamous “gap” on the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border will be closed, turning I-95 into an unbroken river of concrete more than 1,900 miles long.

Hopefully when that's done they can bulldoze Breezewood, PA and hook the Turnpike to I-70.

When they're done with that they can do the same with Bedford, PA and hook the Turnpike to I-99.

“Hopefully when that’s done they can bulldoze Breezewood, PA and hook the Turnpike to I-70.”

OUCH I love Breezewood. Always holds a place in my heart. Even if I’m not stopping for a stay in one of the THOUSAND motels .. it was a landmark for me all my life.

But whatever I can do to get traffic off the Pike is my responsibility to the world. The Pennaturnpike is corrupt, staffed entirely by criminals and thieves. As a toll worker, my aunt long ago wrote a book detailing the crime, corruption and intimidation tactics to keep people quiet.

Back in the 1950’s Breezewood was a special place. For millions of postwar veterans and their families, heading South for a long awaited winter vacation, pre the interstates, Breezewood was a great turning point.

From across the whole Midwest, families came east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, at the time the only divided highway, a national wonder in itself. Getting off at Breezewood, resting up, eating, maybe staying the night for an early start the next day, they then headed South on The Highway To The Sun. Florida in the winter was a dream back then, and Breezewood was the jumping off place. I’m sure it has seen its day, but for millions it once was more than an interim destination on a map, it was a great right turn full of promise.
