Interstate 75
In 1959, Interstate 75 (I-75) was laid down just to the east of Hartwell. Known for many years around here as the "Millcreek Expressway," it overtook cornfields and basically cut Hartwell off from Arlington Heights and the hills of Edgemont Terrace. In the 1990s the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway worked its way into our landscape and in the process, Woodbine Avenue no longer runs all the way through the neighborhood to Wayne; there is now a well-kept little cul-de-sac that is left to itself in the shadow of an overpass.
