Google Maps promotes US 209 to an interstate

UPDATE 10.16.2012 – They fixed it. I’m sure my friend Tom is thrilled that his sleepy hometown of Nesquhoning, Pa. now has an interstate highway going through the center of it:

US 209 which goes from PA 147 north of Harrisburg (it should go down to US 22/322 though) to US 9W in Kington, [...]

RIP Mickey Mantle’s restaurant

Mickey Mantle’s sports bar closing – NY Post
Game over for Mickey Mantle’s Restaurant – NY Daily News
I ate at Mickey Mantle’s several times, including my 19th birthday. I recall having a tasty strip steak for what seemed like a really good price at the time for New York City. Prior to eating there once (if [...]

NY tabloids: Sorry, Sorry Night for the Yankees

Lots of trouble for the New York Yankees right now — Jorge Posada forgets he’s hitting .185 when complained about hitting 9th. He apologized. The team is in a freefall as well, losing 5 in a row and 9 of 12. Getting swept by the Boston Red Sox is no fun either. Had the Yanks [...]

STAR-MELO: NY tabloids use same backpage headline

That didn’t take long…
Even though I don’t really follow the NBA and I was getting tired about hearing about Carmleo Anthony being traded from the Denver Nuggets. Anthony’s debut with New York Knickerbockers yielded a win and the same backpage headline on the NY Daily News and NY Post. I guess the latter gets credit [...]

Eli Manning draws First Blood on both NYC tabloids

New York Giants QB Eli Manning got destroyed in last night’s preseason game (played in New Jersey) against the New York Jets. He christened the artificial turf at New Meadowlands Stadium with blood gushing from a massive head wound that needed a dozen stitches. The tabloids both had the same though with their backpage headline.
Here [...]

Same LeBron headline on NYC tabloid backpages

I’m know, shocking, just shocking both New York tabloids had the same backpage headline.
Joe Posnanski nails it of course
I’ll admit it, I didn’t get sucked into this thing until Comic Sans, but after today let’s never talk about LeBron James again.

Sid Vicious: NYC tabs know that Sidney Crosby hates America

Yes, diver/whiner Sidney Crosby making the winning shot in overtime for Canada to beat the United States for the gold medal is the worst case scenario. The New York tabloids know this to be true. Look at him up there will the poster boy for birth control expression on his face. Ugh. You couldn’t have [...]

Places I went in 2009

Every year I do a tally of places I have been. The two ways for a location to qualify — I had a meal there (non-fast food) or spent the night there. Sometimes, I make exceptions that rule though, like for apple-picking.
Alexandria, Va.Arlington, Va.Falls Church, Va.Great Falls, Va.McLean, Va.Purcellville, Va.Reston, Va.Vienna, Va.Washington, D.C.Newark, Del.Ellicot City, [...]

27TH HEAVEN: NY tabloids celebrate Yankees win with same cover headline

Not surpsingly, editors at both New York City tabloids were thinking the same thing late last night. While the headline seems a little corny, I’m not complaining about it.
They were thinking the same thing on Long Island too.
UPDATE: ESPN did it too:
Apparently deadpsin noticed this stuff too — If this anyone other tan Steve Allen, [...]
