ypsi-slim Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Dixie Highway news: Why this suddenly popped up on Time.com is sort of a mystery but perhaps they just recently provided access to their archive: "Monday, Oct. 19, 1925 Celebrating the completion of the Dixie Highway from Sault Ste. Marie to Miami, after ten years of labor by the Dixie Highway Association, a "motorcade" traveled southward over the highway last week, waving flags and making speeches." Well - I searched their archives and came up with this article about Ocala: http://xrl.us/vezc and another about Vandalia, OH - the intersection of the Dixie and National Highways, and the Amateur National Trapshooting Assoc.: http://xrl.us/vezf Anyone ever been to Coral Castle in Homestead, FL on the Dixie Highway? Looks like my kind of place.

DennyG Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The Dixie Highway and National Road intersection is still marked with a sign and a variety of flags but it's all well above eye level and easily missed. Seems I've somehow missed that Louisville catfish but will look harder (and maybe higher) the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Here's a bit of an update on Norman Pepper's catfish problems. I stopped by on Friday and talked with Mr. Pepper and signed his list of supporters. There is a hearing coming up next Monday (the 7th). As told here, the city has also cited Hooters for some palm trees so things could get interesting. Pepper said he has been written up in twenty some news articles in the last month or so. When I asked about who had complained, he said he didn't feel at all vindictive and offered no names. Just an all around good guy, it seemed.
