The post in question is an aerial photograph of the interchange downtown with the caption: “I bet some of you didn’t know that I-40 used to go UNDER I-27 ”
Hmmm…..Are you

And it appears that I wasn’t the only one who was questioning the post and it’s cheeky statement. In fact, there’s quite a few heated arguments in the comment section about it being real or fake. Check the thread out for yourself here. Now, Let’s break this down a bit.
