The Bill Pate Portal Sign on I-70 Westbound, South Mountain
Photographer: Roderick A. MacRae
Taken: Circa 1982/1983
Caption: The Bill Pate Portal Sign on I-70 Westbound, South Mountain
Additional Description: This sign was installed in the early 1980s and removed shortly thereafter when, as I recall, when concern was expressed that the association with Appalachia would taint perceptions of Washington County. It was never replaced.
