In this episode, we go northwest and check out some business loops and old alignments. US 52 is a weird diagonal that seems to show up everywhere. Want to go from Chicagoland to Winston-Salem or from Indianapolis to Charleston? US 52 has got you! Thanks to everyone who requested a point of interest on US 52:

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!
