Before Dysfunction Junction – NY 73 and US 9 (1942 Aerial)
I did a quick and dirty map warp of the October 13, 1942 aerial photo of Underwood to show what Dysfunction Junction looked like in the 1940s and 1950s prior to early-1960s re-alignment of US 9 that included building a higher-speed legged interchange with NY 73.

John Prine’s “Illegal Smile” – American Songwriter
He notes: the meaning of the song was “not about smokin’ dope. It was more about how, ever since I was a child, I had this view of the world where I can find myself smiling at stuff nobody else was smiling at. But it was such a good anthem for dope smokers that I didn’t want to stop every time I played it and make a disclaimer.”
