So is "Little  Ben" still visible from RT95?? Use to go though Richmond back in the '60s on the way to NC when I was a kid. Remember that and the cigarette companies off of 95 too.

Oh yeah - Main Street Station. It got restored several years back:

Some of the tobacco companies are gone but the biggest, Philip Morris, is bigger than ever. It does have a different name now (Altria).
