The old one is lost to time. I was able to watch the 5 get built both through Olympia and on family roadster trips to California. Martin Way and Capitol Way in Olympia were the famous 99. You went through every town.

Barely remember I-90 getting built through Spokane in the 60s. Pretty well destroyed the East Central neighborhood and Liberty Park which was like a mini Manito Park. The fact that most of the minorities lived there was just a coincidence.
Strongly remember I90 construction through N. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming while driving back to visit relatives in WY. Fuck that trip took forever.
Wallace ID held out until 1991 with the last stoplight between Seattle and Boston.
I've sexted this recommendation to @PurpleThrobber in the past, but The Big Burn by our? Timothy Eagan is essential Wallace History. https://www.amazon.com/Big-Burn-Teddy-Roosevelt-America/dp/0547394608
Throbber has been to the brothels of Wallace in his ute.
Some of you chimps still live in your smoggy studio apartments off Hwy 99 doing signal chats with your Antifa buddies.
I thought doxxing was not allowed here?
I didn't say what stretch of 99. It's a long road.
This can be a tough drive on the interstate. Going to the 91 Rose Bowl single file with a pilot car in a snowstorm was something
As Donald Fagan once said, ain't never gonna do it with out the fez on.
The construction of I-65 to replace the Dixie Highway is what prompted Colonel Sanders to franchise KFC.
My grampa built the Evergreen Ballroom on old 99 right before the New 99 was built - Martin Way - before the 5. They all converged at Fort Lewis, which fed the Ballroom with customers. All the great acts Black and White played there
Not Joint Base. Fort Fucking Lewis

I struggle with whether or not we? should have skipped Iwo Jima.
Estimates put the number of B-29 crew member lives saved at somewhere between 8 and 24K, but that's little consolation the the fams of the marines who perished there.
Okinawa, however, was absolutely necessary.
@huskyhooligan 's grand pappy used to jerk the iron workers off for $.25 a man. Inflation is a bitch.
I think one thing to look at here is the training that goes into a B-29 crew vs the training that goes into a Marine rifleman. At the low end, 8000 B-29 crew members saved have a higher training value vs the 6800 Marines killed.
