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...

And the irony is not lost on me that I'm also visiting Towform for the first time in almost forever today also. But I've been here several times since I last visited MapQuest!
