[edit] Blue Star Memorial Highway

the text from that article was already here. The memorial designation follows a portion of the historical US 31. It's best left merged into the article, IMHO. It helps fill out the history of US 31 in Michigan and nothing links to it on its own except WikiProject pages. --Imzadi1979 (talk) 06:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, I didn't see this comment before restoring the stub. I suppose it's OK for now to leave it as a redirect, although there could be more to say -- for example according to the state, The portion of highway US-31 beginning at the border between Michigan and Indiana in Berrien County and extending to the Straits of Mackinac at the county line of Emmet and Cheboygan counties shall be known as the "Blue Star Memorial Highway".[1] This is not the "former" route of US 31. However, scattered throughout parts of western and northern Michigan, many surface roads are named as the "Blue Star Highway", probably a relic of a former designation (similar to the Red Arrow Highway). But with the information such as it is now, it can stay as a redirect. Although the bit about the former designation of US 2 in the UP is lost (or at least not readily apparent). older ≠ wiser 13:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
