Yeah, 1947 myself in Stanford Children's Hospital when it was
still in SF.  I remember when they still had traffic lights
on the Bayshore all the way to San Jose.  The last one I
remember still there was the one at Coyote Point about 52.

On the subject, I still use "highway 101" and "highway 17", or
even "the Nimitz" on occasion.  I still think of 280 as
Skyline Boulevard too.  I was sorry to see the old Skyline
disappear under that concrete carpet.  There are at least
parts of it still there.
