<div id="ygrps-yiv-221680152">this title sounds like we have been eating track again<br/>
but it is a funny mile or so of it there<br/>
<br/>
i used to drive  the whole stretch  regularly<br/>
in fact ever since it was first opened circa 1970 til about 1995 when i<br/>
quit even hoping to see any sign of connecticut there<br/>
for there never was a peep of anything<br/>
<br/>
thats right<br/>
i can vouch<br/>
at least a quarter century of total nonrecognition of reality<br/>
<br/>
everyone thought they were in new york state the whole time<br/>
  except for me of course & maybe a few other connoisseurs<br/>
<br/>
lately tho i chanced to make one of my increasingly rare visits<br/>
& was stunned to find a green  greenwich  sign there<br/>
  or perhaps it was a green  welcome to greenwich  sign<br/>
    not sure now<br/>
presumably posted in both directions<br/>
<br/>
not announcing connecticut at all  mind you  but only greenwich<br/>
& no  welcome back from greenwich to new york or westchester or whatever<br/>
sign at the other end either<br/>
<br/>
not even any red white & blue federal highway escutcheons that normally<br/>
tell you quietly every mile or so what state you are in<br/>
<br/>
so it probably just took that long a time for an issue to arise in so short<br/>
a stretch of reality  which finally required such a sign<br/>
especially since greenwichers are famously quiet power<br/>
& think so highly of themselves in relation to connecticut & everything<br/>

&gt;Michael, do you recall if I-684 is marked as such?  I drove it years<br/>
&gt;ago, but can&#39;t remember if the boundary was marked at each end.<br/>

&gt;&gt; another example occurs on interstate highway 684<br/>
&gt;&gt; which crosses the westernmost corner of connecticut<br/>
