I should have been more precise to say that the highway network planned as part of I-95 included a leg that cut through the heart of Camden. The highway is now I-676/Vine Expressway.

Dan Albert's Blog: A note on sources

Sources on my Bookshelf

I've created a bookshelf called, are-we-there-yet-bibliography.

I'm going to try to put all of the books I've used over the years to inform my understanding of the past, present, and future of the American automobile.

I've been surprised myself at the variety of sources that have informed my work. For instance, The Pushcart War and The Year of the Jeep are young adult books. I read them many many y Read more of this blog post »
