Welcome to Tuesday. Before we begin, I wanted to let you know that you could be reading the blog of a millionaire. I played the MegaMillions yesterday, so I expect to win the $244 million jackpot tonight. In case you're wondering, I think that I'll continue to blog as a millionaire. If Mark Cuban can do it, I can too!
Let's get to this week's quiz. Your challenge today is to identify the namesakes of the following highways:
1. English explorer who visited what is now New York in the 17th century honored with a parkway in Manhattan.
2. Astronaut honored with a stretch of Interstate 480 in Ohio.
3. U.S. President honored with a stretch of Interstate 196 in Michigan.
4. Spanish name for the mother of the Virgin Mary honored with a stretch of Interstate 5 in California.
5. Boston Red Sox player honored with a stretch of Route 9 and a tunnel in MA.
6. English Queen consort honored with a highway connected Niagara Falls, Ontario to Toronto.
7. Oklahoma-born humorist honored as the namesake of Route 66.
8. Georgia may have been on his mind, but U.S. Highway 90 through Greenville, Florida is named after this singer.
9. 13th century Italian cardinal whose Spanish name refers to U.S. Highway 101 in the Los Angeles area (and an America song).
10. Brooklyn Dodgers player honored with a parkway in Brooklyn and Queens.
As always please leave your answers in the comments section below and do not use the internet for assistance. Good luck!

5. Ted Williams - Circle gets the square.
6. No one got this correct yet, so I won't answer this now.
7. Will Rogers - Points for everyone.
