The Ravenel Bridge & I-26 West: Charleston, SC

[uptownbronze]

You know I always called this "The Bulls opening theme" Now I know the real name to it. Thanks, Jim. UB

@uptownbronze Yes, it was a Top 40 hit years before the Bulls used it.

Now for once I truly do miss home and driving (well over the speed limits) on those roads in charleston....What a perfect video dude...*correction though...Ext 218 leads to the Old Charleston Naval Base (which is now closed)....the Naval Weapons Station's exit is actually about 5 to 6 miles further down 1-26- at the Ashley Phosphate US 52 & 78 connector exit*

[Freewayjim]

@toofreshtoday Thanks, not sure where I got that exit info from.

Nice video. The music fits perfectly per usual.

[Freewayjim]

@Bryant5493 -Thanks, it took a while to come up with that combo.

[Bryant5493]

@Freewayjim

You're welcome.

"Sirius" was the original theme song of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. And "Space Age Love Song" makes me want to play an Atari 5200.

Fantastic - combining Alan Parsons Sirius (right?) with Flock of Seagulls - excellent special effects, this is great! Wow!!!! 6*+

[Freewayjim]

@0marigolds Thanks, and you are correct (as usual).

[0marigolds]

@0marigolds I admit I posted the comment before the end credits, not only is the video amazing, but I was stunned your vid said Flock of Seagulls when I heard Alan Parsons - more special effects from you, please!

[Freewayjim]

@0marigolds -LOL, it's OK, it was probably a shock to the system when "Eye In The Sky" did not play after "Sirius" :)

i really enjoyed this one very much . one of the best you have done , excellent display of video effects , and editing . on the fav list ..

[FreewayAndrew]

Great work, Jim! It was very exciting to see the Ravenel Bridge lit up from video effects. I think the new intro will be the High Five Interchange in Dallas.

[Freewayjim]

@FreewayAndrew -Thanks, nope new Intro will be from Atlanta.

[lakebay972]

@Freewayjim Go west, young man! as they say. Dallas and Atlanta are always copying each other as far as freeways go.

[FreewayAndrew]

@lakebay972 Well, not exactly. Dallas has those 5-level stack interchanges, and Atlanta is a usual city with 3 main freeways, except for it's lane counts on the Downtown Connector(I-75/85). Also, Texas has the best freeway system because of the infrastructure.

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@FreewayAndrew Dallas Currently only has 1 level 5 int .

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Guess it Lies in both Cities lol dallas and richardson cuz it is so big

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@ScrewdUPClickV2 I Honestly would rank Atlanta , Tie With Dallas in overall Freeway Design .

[Freewayjim]

@ScrewdUPClickV2 -Once Dallas fixes the Downtown Canyon and the I-30/35E interchange in addition to adding the new Calatrava Bridges they will be way ahead of Atlanta. I'd give Dallas the edge now.

[Freewayjim]

@lakebay972 -Dallas is much different IMO.
