Ohio State Route 239
State Route 239 (SR 239, OH 239) is a short north–south state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of State Route 239 is at U.S. Route 52, and its northern terminus is at the State Route 73/State Route 104 duplex. Both endpoints are situated near West Portsmouth.
Created in the mid 1920s, State Route 239 mainly provides access from the southbound direction of the State Route 73/State Route 104 duplex to westbound U.S. Route 52, and vice versa. The highway is also prone to flooding during heavy rains, which are created by the backups of Scioto River water flowing into Ohio River.

“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The almost unexplored Everglades lay close by and with a half- hour’s start a man who knew the country was safe from pursuit. As one man cheerfully confided ..., ‘A boat don’t leave no trail, stranger.’”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
