Well, I remember when 64 east ended at the Ward's Corner Giant.  There was a really, really cool ramp onto Tidewater Drive South we'd use to get to our friends' Tidewater Shores apartment. We called it the "space ramp" and as a young driver, often somewhat altered, it was really, really fun to drive. At the time we didn't know and wouldn't have cared that Tidewater Shore was Section 8, and it took me a while to figure out what had happened when I returned twenty five years later...
