Sweet Suite for Team US 89

On November 29 we completed acquisition and creation of a matched set of social media assets.  They are listed here with a brief comment about their purpose.

First and foremost is this website using a dedicated, custom domain name for The US 89 Team.
This website will be a central hub which anchors all of the other social media assets and online resources currently in use and yet to come.

Second is the US 89 Team email address:  us89team@gmail.com.  It matches the website domain.

Third comes the obligatory Facebook and, luckily, we were able to obtain a matching user name for this asset: https://www.facebook.com/US89Team/

The Facebook will allow us to publish very short vignettes highlighting various aspects of US 89.

Next we have the Twitter account which also now has a matching user name: https://twitter.com/US89Team  The Twitter is going to be slow to catch on but will be useful.


Our main "route finding" blog will always be: ushwy89.blogspot.com


We're doing a very fun blog filled with old postcards for US 89: us89postcards.blogspot.com

Coming Soon:

We plan to create a US 89 Team Store; a blog to showcase US 89 Team Members and a US 89 History blog.  Undoubtedly, others will be created as the need & inspiration arises.

US 89 Team

November 28 marked the debut of the Team US 89 logo as well as the purchase of the US 89 Team domain name.  We envision this website to be a place where The Team gets together to share ideas, collaborate and make plans for future academic and field research projects and activities.

Cover Photo

Our current cover photo as of early December 2017 shows a 1950's view of Main Street in Mesa, Arizona.  If ever there was THE quintessential Main Street in any Arizona city or town, it simply had to be Mesa's Main Street.  It was THE place to see and be seen and the only place to do all your shopping.  Mesa's Main Street carried four official US highways (60-70-80-89) for well over three decades before being replaced by a freeway.
