Sign near Baltimore Sign near Baltimore
One of the more pointless expenditures of public money.

Cove Port appears to be the town closest to the termination of Interstate 70; I assume that this sign is on I-70 westbound. It now makes a little sense... the sign designer thought it was important to post the distance to the end of the highway.

The other three cities are all along I-70. Why Columbus, St. Louis and Denver rate a mention while Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Kansas City do not is a mystery.

You might be onto something.

Sweetie, after your weekend in Denver, you'll understand why we rated a mention.

Just sayin'... ;{P}

Naah, KC is much more cosmopolitan than St. Louis.

Smells better, too.

Hmm. Well, I've never gotten onto the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) at its easternmost point (I guess that's the airport, unless it's the I-93 interchange on the other side of the Ted), but I'd be really surprised if it had a sign giving the distance to Seattle.

I have (and yes, it's at Logan airport), and no, it doesn't. Seattle isn't mentioned anywhere along the part of I-90 that runs through Massachusetts; I don't think any of the signs mention anything west of the MA/NY border.

Well, I think Albany may be mentioned here and there, but that's not very far west of the border.

Why Columbus, St. Louis and Denver rate a mention while Pittsburgh [...] do[es] not is a mystery

maybe because Pittsburgh isn't actually ON I-70?

Close enough:

PIT
Click the image for more detail.

It runs within 20 miles of the center of Pittsburgh, close enough to be considered part of the local road system. If I was heading to Pittsburgh from Baltimore, I'd take I-70.
