Today is the day. SongQuest 2010 : The Road Song is off and running. It's a little different from last year. This time around, the artists have been selected; 13 in all, representing the 13 provinces and territories. So what's the deal? Well, the selected songwriters will each write a song about a road (or highway, biway, boulevard, avenue, etc.) Your job is to pick the road in your province that deserves to be recognized in song. Which artists represent which places?

So where does that leave us? Well, if you want to get involved and nominate a throughway, or just check the whole thing out, visit the official SongQuest 2010 website.
For today, lets talk about what roads you'd like to see immortalized. Where is it, and why is it worthy? Looking forward to a road trip travelogue.
