I would not say in many cases, that they lived "longer".. on the contrary..
The average for that entire generation was waay lower
And Child mortality was much higher

I knew that there had been essentially constant lengthening, but that's an interesting graph. I assume the dip in the early 1900s is due to WWI.

Meh that could be Anytown, USA I'd think.
(But hot damn how did you identify Breezewood? The original post on another website said it was in PA.)

There is a truck stop town like that in KY or TN iirc on the I-75 corridor but I'm forgetting the name. Nothing but miles of mountain wilderness before and after. You cross the hill and enter a huge wide-open bowl. Below in the center is an exit with a solid mass of concentrated signs and businesses. The 'fog' from semi brake n jake can be seen on both sides. It's a memorable view. And the only hope of gas around.

..and I had this pegged at X175 - I-95 S, Rocky Mount, NC.

Breezewood was a lot less complicated when I was schooling in Loretto, PA (1964-1968) - ez on - ez off. One station,with an in-house eatery.

It may or may not be BW, but the amazing thing is you do NOT, at least a few years ago, have the option of NOT going through the stoplights making the switch from the Penn TP to I-70S in Breezewood.

The most inane thing on any road in the USA.

The Birds. Every year we get these flocks of birds, mostly Seagulls, that feast on the later summer bugs. Hundreds of birds circle the horse pasture and wait for the Dragon Flies and others to lift.
