Did they name a stretch of I-25 after Ronald Reagan?
Some friends told me that they named the stretch of I-25 between Castle Rock and Colorado Springs "The Ronald Reagan Highway".

2. Why not............
half of the public facilities in our country are named after the simpleton. What's one more in the grand scheme of things?

7. At Least You Had An Alternate - Hwy 83
There IS no alternate route between Pueblo and CO Springs, because the built I-25 over the old roadway. Between Exit 108 (Purcell Blvd - Pueblo West) and 122 (Pikes Peak International Raceway), you're stuck with the Interstate.

12. If we could get rid of the GOP BOCC
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 11:51 AM by HawkeyeX
Then the Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway signs would be permanently in the Ronald Reagan Memorial Landfill.

14. The RR Hi way sign just north of Monument is COVERED with
Red, white and blue ribbons, flowers, and bows, as well as little flags and notes. So touching, in a revolting way.

15. What's even more appropriate...
If it was covered with dog poop. Or any kind of poop. Horse poop would be good too.
