We would take Hwy 82 part of the way, out of Greenville, but the road I'm referring to is State Hwy 7 or 8 between Grenada and Calhoun City. Steep hills, up and down, with kudzu vines on either side of the road, covering nearly everything in sight.Mona Robinson Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942686174431804604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284597030233351185.post-40688995161909052902010-02-04T09:01:49.924-06:002010-02-04T09:01:49.924-06:00Anyone who traveled U.S 82 many years ago from the...Anyone who traveled U.S 82 many years ago from the Greenville area to Columubus, surely has vivid memories of how the kudzu camouflaged the terrain on the south side of the highway. When the vine "rode" the telephone wires across the huge ravines just at roadway height gave a false appearance of that side of the road! The northside of the highway was some steep hills. . . . When I got out our latest Road Atlas, it looks like U.S. 82 is now at least 4 lanes, so can someone advise me about this? I never thought this road could be widened! I can't recall if there was ever a spot in this road for legal passing. All my memories recall seeing was "Do Not Pass for the next # of feet"! bswAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
