I remember my father telling me when he was a kid it took neary 2 hours to get to LG on route 9 as most of it was 30 - 45mph at the time. The Northway only opened up in the 70s. Also heard stories of awesome drag racing on closed, unfinished portions of the Northway. > > Clifton Park was a farm… 😛 And the crackhead I work with’s father built the northway and his grandmother owned half of Clifton Park and sold the land cheap. When I asked him why his mother doesnt have a nice house he said she had a nice house when it was new. Its a fucking doublewide on a foundation with shit all over the lawn and looks like a dump. He also had tea with Elvis when he was about 12 and he came up with the M&M’s and Lucky Charms characters while tripping on acid in his uncle’s junkyard that was full of helicopters and '57 Chevy’s they used to play demo derby with. Im not sure if thats the same cousin who has the 1000hp GTO that only runs on nitrous (no gas, just nitrous) and/or the same one that bought an airplane with no motor but those are stories for another day. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/northway-facing-intolerable-future/262877)._
