Gary Greff
"Build it and they will come." That's the not-so-old movie slogan that Gary Greff lives by. A schoolteacher turned metal sculptor, Greff is trying to save his hometown of Regent, North Dakota (population 268) by building a folk-art tourist attraction, the Enchanted Highway.

Ed Ruscha
In 1956, 19-year old Ed Ruscha left his hometown of Oklahoma City and set out for Los Angeles in his black 1950 Ford along that mythic stretch of highway, Route 66. Since then, images glimpsed from his car have defined much of Ruscha's career. His paintings, photographs and films pay homage to the highway, road-tripping, and the restlessness of the American spirit.

Radio and the Road
When you're on the road, radio can be your best companion. If you're driving along the highways of eastern Tennessee, you might be lucky enough to tune into WDVX, a small, non-commercial station nestled in the heart of Appalachia's Smoky Mountains.
