167. Visitor Number 4000

Last night around 8:12 pm, someone, I do know not whom, entered into a Google search bar the words "what number tarc runs on 7th street and what is its route" and one of the responses Google gave them was a link to an entry on this blog from March 11 which talked about numbers - addresses, highways, zip codes, and specifically the number 60 - that entry happened to be entry #60 and the number 60 is one of those which are important to me for personal reasons. Whoever that person was, they were tabulated by the appointed bean counters in the etherworld as hit number 4000 here along the Left Bank of the Ohio River near Milepost 606. Since they did not find the answer to their question in entry #60, here it is. Tarc busses travelling along 7th Street are on one of the following routes, depending upon the time of day and where along 7th Street (or Seventh Street Road) you might be: #6-Sixth Street, #50-Dixie Express, #54-Manslick Express, #63-Crums Lane, and #99-UPS/West Louisville. That viewer also took a look at entry #127 which, as so many entries here do, also had to do with numbers - highway numbers such as US 127, a major north-south artery through central Kentucky, but that entry was specifically one of several about 8664.org and my support of that project to rid downtown Louisville of a raised 23-lane wide highway obstructing the view and use of our riverfront. There is another entry somewhere in the archives specifically about Seventh Street and Seventh Street Road and the various other names one encounters while driving along that thoroughfare. But, hit #4000 didn't go there for whatever reason.

Suffice it to say I am pleased to have reached (and crossed) another milestone of sorts.
