And sorry to do this to you, but here are some unidentified scraps from the NY-related scrounging....

Detour into the future
This video (8 minutes, embedded into html, not youtube) combines all of my current interests: retro futurism, highway design, illustration and tourism. (I know, but whatever. You have yours, I have mine.) Very amazing. Despite your feelings/ambivalence toward the Disney megacorp, in 1958, this was groundbreaking. It's also full of optimism for the future, which we could use more of today.
