How Do I Get Outta Here?

Visited MapQuest.com for the first time in (almost literally) forever the other day, and was greeted by this overlay:


Remember when this was among the greatest training revelations in the history of iNetNow?

"I'm going South on I-95"

(Don't ask where they are -- just pick any city to the north, find I-95 and start giving directions from there...)

I even gave it a throwaway in-joke reference in Chapter 4 of Timely Persuasion:
"I can get to the freeway from my house without any help from Mr. Mapquest, thank you very much."
Guess someone at MapQuest read TP and got inspired...
