In this case, either choice would lead to the Interstate. President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced recently that the government would be adopting the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, a piece of legislation that would provide for highways going from state to state to state to state. With more and more people gaining access to cars, with more families getting cars of their own and wanting to travel, a highway system seems like a smashing idea. Personally, Miranda and I are going to be located near the I-95 that goes North to South and the I-90 that goes East to West, so we are just a drive away from almost everywhere now!
I can tell this is going to be a huge project. It's going to cost a lot of money, and it's going to be almost entirely paid for by the government (Who knew we had so much extra money lying around..). I would assume there are going to be a bunch of turnpikes, in addition to the gas tax, to try to pay for such a big endeavor. The taxes and tolls won't be a bother to me, though. I just hope they don't deter others from driving. I'm also quite glad I don't live in a suitable place for a highway... having the government take my property by Eminent Domain would not please me.
Anyway, I like the idea of a highway and interstate system. It would make travelling really convenient. Commence construction!
