[edit] Unfinished 101 overpass

Does anybody have any photos of this? I grew up in the area, and I remember for a long time in the mid-70s the overpass from I think 680SB to 101SB remained uncompleted, and looked like a giant Stonehenge. Torc 07:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cordelia Junction within Fairfield city limits

Cordelia Junction is within the community of Cordelia, which is within the city of Fairfield, California. It is called a junction because California State Route 12, Interstate 80, and Interstate 680 meet all at the same place. I'd like to see an article written about Cordelia. Notable places within Cordelia are new homes, some truck stops, a Saturn dealer, and of course, the fun park Scandia. Just note that I wrote Fairfield on the article page for now because it is technically in Fairfield. --Geopgeop 16:08, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

It's like calling Glen Cove in Vallejo a community of its own. Although they have a lot of stuff there, I still don't think it's notable enough for its own article. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 08:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Not quite. It's like calling Niles in Fremont, California a community of its own. Cordelia used to be a separate and distinct unincorporated town, but has gradually been absorbed by Fairfield. Argyriou (talk) 08:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
