Location
Interstate 95 (I-95)
A broad, salt-slick ribbon of asphalt cutting the region's low hills, Interstate 95 threads the southern flank of New Hampshire as a transit artery toward the Massachusetts Turnpike. Headlights blur through thin, cold air; roadside maples stand stripped to twigs; service plazas glow like beacons for jittery motorcades and travel-weary staff. In the episode it functions as a logistical spine — the route that propels advance teams, campaign vehicles, and the President's convoy toward the Mass Pike — carrying urgency, weathered road noise, and the small-town rhythms that complicate national schedules.
