The National Road began in 1811 at Cumberland, and the building stopped for years. Columbus was done in 1833, Springfield in 1838. The construction was dependent on federal funding. Its urgency for building was influenced by the building of canals, and railroads. There was marker every mile on the north side with distance from Cumberland Maryland, and distances of other towns. This one is read east to west anti-clockwise. W.J. is West Jefferson. The road became U.S. Route 40 in 1926. In Columbus it is Broad Street.

Colorful work for a store sign has a chapulín (Spanish for grasshopper). In the states around Oaxaca, they are regularly eaten.
On one of the many 4th streets in Columbus, the naming and numbering of addresses in C-bus is idiotic. Many people's mail has to have been misdelivered over the years. [Clint Davidson, artist]

In 1953 Pilot Dogs began at this location, to train dogs to be guides for blind people. They have started remodelling and expansion for c. $15 millions. There is a heap of dirt by this, and the fence is covered with banners, so that a look see is discouraged.
