I always wondered how far it was to Denver.

You're only 1700 miles away. It's a comfort.

I'm offended... no San Jose. Clearly this sign is flawed.

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.

In Sacramento, US 50 has a sign with Ocean City, MD (and there is an equivalent one in Ocean City, MD).

The difference, though, is that other, relevant places are listed on those signs as well. It's pretty stupid to have a mileage sign with nothing within reasonable driving distance!

I enjoy that kind of thing--especially having driven the entire length of I-70.
