We decided to look for the stories the media were missing on Highway 50 because it was anything but an interstate. A two-lane road for most of its path, it literally becomes Main Street in small town after small town. For two months our journalists have been roaming up and down those Main Streets, taking the pulse of America. And over the course of nearly three weeks, 20 TIME reporters and photographers will wrap...
