Opis

Interstate 95 stakes its claim as "America's Highway" by passing through the country's most densely populated region - the Eastern Seaboard. Some 110 million people live within hailing distance of its 1,917 miles reaching from the Canadian border to Miami, Florida. The average daily traffic volume on any stretch of highway is 72,000 vehicles with an estimated 565 million trips of over 100 miles taken each year. More than one in every three miles traveled by Americans takes place on I-95. There are 670 exits along Interstate 95 - many leading to America's most famous and historic towns. In the Middle Atlantic the traveler encounters the only part of the highway that is not finished. Here are two of America's greatest cities to walk - New York City and Philadelphia - and a handful of smaller cities that are equally intriguing. There is no better way to see the towns along Interstate 95 than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are visiting a new town or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a walking tour is ready to explore when you are. Each walking tour describes a mix of historical and architectural and ecclesiastical landmarks. A quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on America's streets can be found at the back of the book.
