Interstate 5 is the backbone of the West Coast, and runs the gamut between urban, rural, suburban, breathtakingly beautiful, and skull crushingly boring. It's also our biggest reboot yet! The original is gone, but still visible to members (it's bad anyway). Lets go from Canada to Mexico!
Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!
