dmazeOne of the displays at The Flume talks about the Franconia Notch Parkway and its history. Road through Franconia Notch in original I-93 plans, protests in 1970's, construction stopped, compromise plan happened, construction on modern roadway begins in 1983. Usual story deep in ancient history about interstate construction in an area people seriously care about.
Except that I remember taking a trip to Franconia Notch when I was really little, and I-93 ended, and you got on to US-3 there instead and that was the road through the area. There shouldn't be signs in places about things that happened a long time ago that I remember.

This was back when cars had rumble seats and a car heater in the kind of beater his friends drove was a rare luxury, so he kept ending up as the 6th or 7th passenger, sitting out on the rumble seat, and it wasn't any colder than the inside of the car.
