Center for Furniture CraftsmanshipOn Friday I had a rare day off, so I took a roadtrip to Rockport, ME to visit the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. I'll be taking a 12 week woodworking course there this winter and I wanted to check things out. Once I got north of Portland, I hopped on Route 1 at Brunswick. Route 1 runs from the Canadian border at Fort Kent, ME all the way down to the Florida Keys.
Prior to the Interstate Highway system, Route 1 was the major north-south route along the East Coast. Thus, you'll find a lot of quaint old motels, inns and roadhouses along the way. I particularly like the style of the old motels. There was usually a house of some sort that served as the office/living quarters of the owner or caretaker and then there would be a line of single level motel rooms lined along a semicircular driveway.
If you're ever on a roadtrip and have time to take a Federal Highway instead of the Interstate, I highly recommend it. It can evoke a lot of nostalgia for days gone by.

I suppose you are talking about old Route 1, not the new 'un?
Not many things scare me like a church without a steeple. Jim Jones!
C'mon, the steeple was in the next picture. If you had an attention span longer than 3 seconds, you would've noticed it.
You should be nicer to Ernie, David.
Luv, Mummy
17. Cincinnati: Mediocre across the board last year -- 4-4 at home, 4-4 on the road, 6-6 in the conference. What's changed? Sam Adams and Leon Hall. In other words, very little. That's why I put the Bengals smack dab in the middle of the pack.
So close to the Bungs fall once again!!
BRONCS!!!
Ernie,
You been keeping up with the going's on of Toni D & Brad?!
Bernice, is the sun hot?
Hot as Toni D!!
To Brad, Luann and Bernice,
This ain't no message board. Isn't there a Star Trek convention you're missing?
Only DD would find Whoopie Pie!
Nice pair of pies....
