Some changes[edit]

I added the Curley pic, and edited down some passages. I don't see any need for specific quotes to say that the road is dangerous. I also condensed the last paragraph, removing the unsupported mention of professional athletes. MarkinBoston 20:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought[edit]

I've never heard anyone refer to the road as "Jamaicaway," only "the Jamaicaway." I lived a few blocks down Burroughs Street in the 1960s.

US Route 1[edit]

At one point US Route 1 did not turn on to Route 128 in Dedham and follow it to the Southeast Expressway and then through the tunnel to the Tobin, but went up ... I forget what the name of the underlying roadway is ... but to the parkway (whose name I also forget - W Roxbury Pkwy?) that connects to the J-Way. That's probably notable enough to be mentioned but I don't have the start and end dates. --plaws (talk) 16:47, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it's partially documented in the U.S. Route 1 in Massachusetts - moved off the J-Way (and the VFW Parkway!) in 1994. --plaws (talk) 16:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
