A 1920 photo looking toward Texas Avenue along Main Street is seen juxtaposed with present day, Monday, Dec. 7, 2015, in Houston. Old Spanish Trail, the road in Houston, isn't the Old Spanish Trail, formed a century ago as one of the south's first paved intercity highways for automobiles. Main Street was the original route. At the century mark of the road's beginnings, a conference is hoping to raise awareness of the long-forgotten route from St. Augustine, Fla. to San Diego, in the hopes of having a nationwide celebration in 2029.
