The Great American Road Trip Summary

The Great American Road Trip: U.S.1, Maine to Florida by Peter Genovese

On what highway can you find the headquarters of the FBI, Dow Jones Interactive, and the National Enquirer? What road is home to the Bronx Zoo, the Okefenokee Swamp, and Flipper? On the side of what freeway can you find the Super Duper Weenie Wagon, Larry's Redneck Bar, and the Big Chicken Barn? Peter Genovese found them all, along with about a million other fascinating and bizarre attractions on US 1, the best damn highway in America, as he calls it. US 1 may not be America's most scenic highway, but it's certainly the most colourful. It runs through Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Miami, in addition to Caribou, Maine, Georgia. It zig-zags along the wild and beautiful Maine coast and soars over the Atlantic Ocean as the Overseas Highway, one of the most spectacular stretches of road anywhere. Madonna lived on US 1 (until she sold her house to Rosie O'Donnell), US 1 is Main Street and the Miracle Mile, two-lane blacktop and six-lane expressway.
