You step out of LaGuardia’s terminal into humid New York air; a driver holds a nameboard, and the city’s noise folds behind you as the car eases onto the Grand Central Parkway. The highway stretches south like a ribbon through suburban edges, Hudson-side industrial flats giving way to the green shoulders of New Jersey and the first hints of the Chesapeake. It’s a corridor that moves history—freight routes, colonial towns, and contemporary commutes—toward the federal core.
