The Grand View Ship Hotel on the Lincoln Highway in Juniata Township, Pennsylvania, pictured in 1953, 1963, 1977, 1982, 1999 and 2021.

Construction began in 1927. Building the hotel proved difficult as it required 63 tons of steel, 18 piers drilled down 32 feet to find rock, numerous carloads of lumber and 22 junked car frames, which were used to cover the hotel's exterior.

The Grand View became known for having "one of the most significant scenic views on the North American continent," and boasted that you could see Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland from the hotel's 'deck'. The hotel stayed busy until the 1970s when business declined and owner Herbet Paulson died. At that time, it was sold, rebranded into "Noah's Ark" and eventually closed. The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, but after burning down in 2001, it was delisted in 2002.

Daily Comic Journal: August 25, 2021: "Why Did The Old Man Cross The Road?"

You’d think something like this would annoy me, but not really. The traffic jam wasn’t too long and I wasn’t in a hurry to get somewhere. If anything, after I saw the “feeble old man” skip merrily down the road after getting the traffic to stop for him, I was impressed by his moxie.

Naming the Lincoln Highway - Brian Butko @Lincoln Highway News

Naming the Lincoln Highway – Brian Butko @Lincoln Highway News

Naming the Lincoln Highway LINCOLN HIGHWAY NEWS IS A BLOG BY BRIAN BUTKO Credit for naming the Lincoln Highway often goes to LHA president Henry Joy, a fan of the sixteenth president, but a Colorado woman had the idea first. Frances McEwen Belford met Abraham Lincoln in 1860, when she was 21, and never forgot the man whom she called the “greatest American.” In September 1911, Belford proposed a…

An Unlikely Performance Challenge We'd Love to See

As in Autocat (from the Motormouse and Autocat part of the Cattanooga Cats package) challenging the Skatebirds to a pacing run on a rather remote and abandoned stretch of Classic Route 66 somewhere in Arizona or New Mexico ... or, for that matter, on that stretch of US 50 (alias the Lincoln Highway) through northern Nevada known as "The Lonesomest Road", with the ensuing outcome perhaps left unto your imagination.

Top Ten Tuesday: Still Not Read

We all do it — get really excited for a new book, make sure it’s preordered or on the library waitlist, count down the days until we can get it in our hands, hug it all the way home, then add it to pile and promptly begin to feel guilty about not reading it immediately. It happens. Sometimes you need a book that fits your mood. Sometimes you are in the midst of another book at the time. For me,…
