US-101

US-101 may refer to:

  • U.S. Route 101
  • Lockheed Martin VH-71 Kestrel, U.S. military designation for the AgustaWestland AW101
  • WUSY, an FM radio station in Chattanooga, Tennessee
  • See also

  • Interstate 101
  • U.S. Route 101 in California

    U.S. Route 101 (US 101) in the state of California is one of the last remaining and longest U.S. Routes still active in the state, and the longest highway of any kind in California. US 101 was also one of the original national routes established in 1926.

    Although the highway has been superseded in overall importance for transport through the state by Interstate 5 (I-5), US 101 continues to be the major coastal north–south route that links the Greater Los Angeles Area, the Central Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the North Coast (Redwood Empire). Significant portions of US 101 between the Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area follow El Camino Real, the historic road connecting the former Alta California's 21 missions. US 101 also has portions designated as the Santa Ana Freeway, Hollywood Freeway, Ventura Freeway, South Valley Freeway, and the Bayshore Freeway. The Redwood Highway, the 350-mile-long (560 km) northernmost segment of the highway, begins at the Golden Gate and passes through the world's tallest and only extensive preserves of virgin, old-growth coast redwood trees.

    U.S. Route 101

    U.S. Route 101, or U.S. Highway 101, is a northsouth U.S. highway that runs through the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, on the West Coast of the United States. It is also known as El Camino Real (The Royal Road) where its route along the southern and central California coast approximates the old trail which linked the Spanish missions, pueblos, and presidios. It merges at some points with California Highway 1.

    Though U.S. Route 101 remains a major coastal northsouth link along the Pacific coast north of San Francisco, it has been replaced in overall importance for transport through the West Coast states by Interstate 5, which is more modern in its physical design, goes through more major cities, and has more direct routing due to significantly easier geography over much of the route. Route 101 is a major parallel freeway or highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is an alternative to the Interstate for most of its length. In 1964, California truncated US 101's southern terminus in Los Angeles, as Interstate 5 replaced it. The old road is known as County Road S-21 or Historic Route 101 in northern San Diego County.

    Callin' all the stars to fall
    And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
    Come for me and set me free
    Lift me up and take me where I stand
    She believes in everything
    And everyone, and you and yours and mine
    I waited for a thousand years
    For you to come and blow me out my mind
    Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
    So what d'you say Lyla?
    The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
    If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
    Heaven help you catch me if I fall
    She's the queen of all I've seen
    And every song and city far and near
    Heaven-hell my mademoiselle
    She ring the bell for all the world to hear
    Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
    So what d'you say Lyla?
    The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
    If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
    Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall
    Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
    So what d'you say Lyla?
    The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
    If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
    Heaven'll help you catch me when I fall
    Hey Lyla
