Let’s be honest—this stretch of highway isn’t exactly the Grand Canyon. It’s mostly trees, more trees, and just enough McDonald’s to make you wonder if you’ve been driving in circles. But here’s where things get interesting. Unlike your typical sightseeing tour, this one’s all about the unsightseeing. We’re not pulling over for monuments or museums. In fact, we’re not pulling over at all—unless your curiosity (or your bladder) says otherwise. In which case, we fully support your spontaneous detour energy. Instead, we’re bringing the stories to you. As we cruise past towns and cities—some famous, some forgotten—we’ll share fascinating, surprising, and occasionally ridiculous tales that shaped them. These are the places that launched revolutions, made headlines, inspired legends—or at the very least, have names that sound like rejected sitcoms. Now, here’s something important for this tour to work the way it’s designed: always follow the signs for I-95 South. Stick to the “Cars and Trucks” lanes, which are always on the right—do not take the “Cars Only” lanes. And skip the Express I-95 lanes; stay on the regular I-95. That’s how we’ll stay on track together. If you do have to leave the route, no worries. Just restart the tour by selecting the next Point of Interest as your new starting point. The app will navigate you there, and the tour will pick up seamlessly. So even if all you see out the window are trees and tail lights, we promise to keep your ears entertained with stories that’ll make you say, “Wait, that happened here?” And maybe even, “Okay, let’s take that next exit.” Ready? Let’s hit the road and discover the hidden stories along I-95—one mile at a time.
