Although they had no horses, nor the invention of the wheel, the Inca civilization had extensive road systems.

With stone walls, steps that went up steeper grades, suspension bridges that crossed rivers and distance markers placed every so often, the Inca Empire had around 25,000 miles of connecting highways between major trade routes in South America, from Ecuador down through Peru, to Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

In Jan 2002, inspired by the 911 terrorists, an 18yo kid stole a Cessna and few it into the Bank of America building in downtown Tampa. Only the pilot died. I actually saw it just after it hit. Crazy times.
 
Dogpatch USA was a theme park located in northwest Arkansas along State Highway 7 between the cities of Harrison and Jasper, an area known today as Marble Falls. It was based on the comic strip Li'l Abner, created by cartoonist Al Capp and set in a fictional village called Dogpatch. The park opened in 1968, and closed in 1993.

Dogpatch USA was a commercial success in its early years. Investors tried to parlay that success into a sister park, "Marble Falls," planned with a ski resort and convention center. The venture failed and led to the park's closure in 1993. The property then fell into disrepair. Parts of the park have been divided up and sold, and the main area has been bought, sold, and foreclosed on several times.
