Talk:Newport, Oregon

Could use a lot of expansion
Pretty short article for a town like this. History and economy could certainly be greatly expanded. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 06:30, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Western terminus of the "Longest Road in the United States"
I came across this hunting up a {dead-link} on a different article and felt it was certainly worth leaving here for a future editor to make good use of. The bottom of the article contains the best information: "'In 1963, therefore, U.S. 20 became the longest road in the country. U.S. 20 is 3,365 miles long according to the 1989 log. The route begins in Boston at a junction with Massachusetts Route 2 and ends in Newport, Oregon, at a junction with U.S. 101. Because U.S. numbered highways are not designated with National Parks, U.S. 20 is divided into an East Section ending at the eastern entrance to Yellowstone National Park and a West Section beginning at the west entrance to the park.'"

The section below that is where Oregon (as usual) breaks the rules and somehow makes it... ok. "'An AnomalyThe western extension of U.S. 20 to Newport, Oregon, created an anomaly in the U.S. highway numbering plan....'" ---> Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 17:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
