==Current route==
Most of '''SR A1A''' runs along the [[Atlantic Ocean]], with sections from [[Key West, Florida|Key West]] at the southern tip of [[Florida]], all the way to [[Fernandina Beach, Florida|Fernandina Beach]], just south of [[Georgia (U.S. State)|Georgia]]. It is the main road through most oceanfront towns.

The number is rather unique; other than [[Florida State Road A1A Alternate|SR A1A Alt]] (now [[Florida State Road 811|SR 811]], [[Florida State Road 707|SR 707]], and [[Florida State Road 732|SR 732]]), only two other Florida State Roads have begun with a letter ([[Florida State Road A19A|SR A19A]], now several routes near [[St. Petersburg, Florida|St. Petersburg]], and [[Florida State Road G1A|SR G1A]], now [[Florida State Road 300|SR 300]]) have existed. The road was assigned the number '''SR 1''' in the [[1945 Florida State Road renumbering|1945 renumbering]] as the easternmost major north-south road. However, just across the [[Intracoastal Waterway]], and in some cases on the same side, is [[U.S. Highway 1]] ([[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]]), causing confusion. The [[Florida Department of Transportation|State Road Board]] changed the number to SR A1A on [[November 25]], [[1946]], about a year and a half after the renumbering. The twin A's are often said to stand for 'Atlantic 1 Alternate', but this argument fails when applied to the former [[Florida State Road A19A|A19A]], a loop off [[U.S. Highway 19|US 19]] near [[St. Petersburg, Florida|St. Petersburg]], which touched the [[Gulf of Mexico]] rather than the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. On the other hand, the former [[Florida State Road G1A|SR G1A]] was on the Gulf.

SR A1A is signed north-south.

SR 1 was defined in the [[1945 Florida State Road renumbering|1945 renumbering]] as:
* From the intersection of 13th St. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Miami, Florida|Miami]] East along 13th St. and across 13th St. Causeway to [[Miami Beach, Florida|Miami Beach]], then Northerly along the Ocean Route via [[Surfside, Florida|Surfside]] and [[Hallandale, Florida|Hallandale]] to a point on [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Dania, Florida|Dania]].
* From the intersection of East Las Olas Blvd. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Ft. Lauderdale]] East along East Las Olas Blvd. across [[New River Sound]] then Northerly via [[Deerfield Beach, Florida|Deerfield Beach]] - [[Boca Raton, Florida|Boca Raton]] - [[Lake Worth, Florida|Lake Worth]] to a point on [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]].
* Also from the intersection of Southern Blvd. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]] East across [[Lake Worth]] to junction with [[Florida State Road 1|SR 1]] in [[Palm Beach, Florida|Palm Beach]].
* From the intersection of Park Ave. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Lake Park, Florida|Lake Park]], West on Park Ave. to 10th St. thence Northerly via [[Jupiter, Florida|Jupiter]] to junction with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]].
* From a point on [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] North of [[St. Lucie River]] in [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]] then Northeasterly via [[Jensen, Florida|Jensen]] and across [[Indian River]] then Northwesterly to a junction with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Ft. Pierce, Florida|Ft. Pierce]].
* From intersection with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Ft. Pierce, Florida|Ft. Pierce]] Northerly to junction with [[Florida State Road 605|SR 605]] thence Easterly across [[Indian River]] thence Northerly via [[Vero Beach, Florida|Vero Beach]], [[Melbourne Beach, Florida|Melbourne Beach]], [[Cocoa Beach, Florida|Cocoa Beach]], [[Canaveral, Florida|Canaveral]], [[Titusville Beach, Florida|Titusville Beach]] to a junction with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[New Smyrna Beach, Florida|New Smyrna Beach]].
* Also Leg running Northwesterly from a point on [[Florida State Road 1|SR 1]] approximately two miles South of [[Titusville Beach, Florida|Titusville Beach]] to a junction with [[Florida State Road 402|SR 402]] approximately one mile West of [[Titusville Beach, Florida|Titusville Beach]] in [[Brevard County, Florida|Brevard County]].
* From a point approximately nine miles South of [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]] Northwesterly via [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]], [[Ormond, Florida|Ormond]], [[Flagler Beach, Florida|Flagler Beach]] to a junction with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]].
* Also at the intersection of [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] and [[Florida State Road 600|SR 600]] East on Volusia Ave. then North on North Beach St. then East on bridge across [[Halifax River]] and on Broadway to junction with [[Florida State Road 1|SR 1]] all in [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]].
* Also at the intersection Granada Ave. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] East on Granada Ave. across [[Halifax River]] to junction with [[Florida State Road 1|SR 1]]. All in [[Ormond, Florida|Ormond]].
* From the intersection of May St. and [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]] Northeasterly along May St. and across [[North River]] to [[Vilano, Florida|Vilano]] then Northerly via [[Ponte Vedra, Florida|Ponte Vedra]] - [[Jacksonville Beach, Florida|Jacksonville Beach]] to the city limnits of [[Atlantic Beach, Florida|Atlantic Beach]] and [[Neptune Beach, Florida|Neptune Beach]]. Then West along Atlantic Blvd. to junction with [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]].

Since then, the following changes have been made:
* The section in [[Key West, Florida|Key West]] was added.
* The bridge over the [[Intracoastal Waterway]] in [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Fort Lauderdale]] was moved south; the old one became [[Florida State Road A1A Alternate|SR A1A Alt]] (now [[Florida State Road 842|SR 842]]).
* The part from [[Lake Park, Florida|Lake Park]] to [[Jupiter, Florida|Jupiter]] became [[Florida State Road A1A Alternate|SR A1A Alt]] (now [[Florida State Road 811|SR 811]]), and two new sections were added along the shore, from [[Riviera Beach, Florida|Riviera Beach]] to north of [[Lake Park, Florida|Lake Park]] and from [[Juno Beach, Florida|Juno Beach]] to [[Jupiter, Florida|Jupiter]]. The latter is now [[Palm Beach County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]].
* The part from [[Jupiter, Florida|Jupiter]] to [[Hobe Sound, Florida|Hobe Sound]] became [[Florida State Road 707|SR 707]]; SR A1A was extended south from [[Hobe Sound, Florida|Hobe Sound]] to meet [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] ([[U.S. Highway 1|US 1]]). This part is now [[Martin County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]].
* The part north of [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]] was moved south to go east from downtown [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]] to the [[Atlantic Ocean]]; the old road became [[Florida State Road 707|SR 707]] and [[Florida State Road A1A Alternate|SR A1A Alt]] (now [[Florida State Road 707|SR 707]] and [[Florida State Road 732|SR 732]]). Recently the part in downtown [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]], west of [[Florida State Road 714|SR 714]], became [[Martin County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]].
* Both bridges over the [[Intracoastal Waterway]] in [[Fort Pierce, Florida|Fort Pierce]] were rebuilt and moved slightly south. The approach to the south one moved two blocks south.
* When [[Kennedy Space Center]] was built around [[1950]], SR A1A through it was closed and rerouted from the south to go west on [[Florida State Road 528|SR 528]]. A small piece of the old road may have become [[Florida State Road 401|SR 401]], but [[Florida State Road 401|SR 401]] now ends before it reaches the old road.  Cape Road, which runs east of [[Launch Complex 39]], was SR A1A; it ended at former [[Florida State Road 402|SR 402]] at [[Playalinda Beach, Florida|Playalinda Beach]]. The part from there to south of [[New Smyrna Beach, Florida|New Smyrna Beach]] was never built.
* SR A1A south of [[New Smyrna Beach, Florida|New Smyrna Beach]] is now [[Volusia County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]]; part of it in [[New Smyrna Beach, Florida|New Smyrna Beach]] still exists. The part connecting to [[Titusville Beach, Florida|Titusville Beach]] was never built.
* The part south of [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]] was routed onto a new bridge at [[Port Orange, Florida|Port Orange]]; the old road south of the bridge became [[Volusia County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]] and is now [[Volusia County, Florida Road 4075|CR 4075]].
* SR A1A was realigned away from the [[Atlantic Ocean]] south of [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]] onto what had been [[Florida State Road 3|SR 3]]; the south half of the old road became [[St. Johns County, Florida Road A1A|CR A1A]].
* The two sections in [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]] were connected when [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] ([[U.S. Highway 1|US 1]] was moved west onto a bypass and old [[Florida State Road 5|SR 5]] became [[Florida State Road 5A|SR 5A]] ([[U.S. Highway 1 Alternate (St. Augustine)|Alt US 1]]).
* The north bridge over the [[Intracoastal Waterway]] at [[St. Augustine]] was moved north, with the east approach moving two blocks north.
* A bypass was built around [[Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida|Ponte Vedra Beach]]; the old road became [[Florida State Road 203|SR 203]] (later CR 203 in [[St. Johns County, Florida Road 203|St. Johns County]] and [[Duval County, Florida Road 203|Duval County]]).
* SR A1A was moved out of [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] and onto what had been part of [[Florida State Road 101|SR 101]], a new alignment to the ferry across the [[St. Johns River]], and what still is [[Florida State Road 105|SR 105]] and [[Florida State Road 200|SR 200]]. The old road became an extension of [[Florida State Road 10|SR 10]].
* None of the spurs to the mainland are SR A1A any more. The one at [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]] became part of [[Florida State Road 80|SR 80]] on [[October 25]], [[1946]]; the ones at [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]] (now [[Florida State Road 600|SR 600]] and [[Ormond Beach, Florida|Ormond Beach]] (now [[Florida State Road 40|SR 40]]) took longer. Specifically, [[Florida State Road 40|SR 40]] didn't originally go to [[Ormond Beach, Florida|Ormond Beach]].

{{flsr|001A}}Comments about '''Hergé and ideology'''.

[[Herge|Hergé]] started making the comic strip series [[Tintin]] in 1929 for the children's section of the [[Belgium|Belgian]] newspaper [[Le Vingtieme Siecle]], aligned with the [[Rexism|Rexist]] right-wing movement. He continued on other media until his death in 1983. 

As a young artist Hergé was influenced by his mentors, specifically the [[Abbé Wallez]]. This shows in his most important works, the Tintin series. As the artist develops ideologically, so does the series.

=== First albums === 

Tintin first albums, written and drawn during the [[1920s]], were anti-[[Soviet Union|Soviet]], pro-[[colonialism|colonialist]], and anti-[[USA|American]]. This is obvious from the first three albums, which mock the Soviets, the indigenous people of [[Belgian Congo]] and the white inhabitants of the US respectively. Hergé was young, Belgian and [[Catholic church|catholic]] and published in a catholic newspaper. He was naïve and under influence ''(of ???)'' and his comics were reflecting the dominant ideolgy in Belgium at that time.

=== Turn-around with ''The Blue Lotus'' ===

Things began to change with ''[[The Blue Lotus]]'' (his encouter with [[Tchang Tchong-Jen]] may have changed his mind): his vision of China is more subtle and the album can be read as anti-[[imperialism|imperialist]]. ''(Some more about the political row this album caused)''

=== The Second World War ===

Things got more complicated later. ''King Ottokar's Sceptre'' was obviously anti-[[nazi]] : Musstler (MUSSolini-hiTLER) the dictator of [[Borduria]] tried to oust king of [[Syldavia]] Muskar XII. The Situation was very similar that of [[Anschluss]] in [[Austria]] in 1938. But some albums were more controversial. The early and unfinished version of ''Land of Black Gold'' is generally considered as pro-[[Arab]], anti-[[Zionist]] and anti-[[Britain|British]].

A very controversial book is ''The Shooting Star'' which is about a race between two crews who are trying to reach a [[meteorite]] landed in the [[arctic]] seas. This race can be interpreted as a competition between [[Europe|Europeans]] ([[Germany|German]] occupied at that time) and Anglo-Americans. The financial backer of the Anglo-Americans has a [[Judaism|Jewish]] name, although this has been changed in some editions, and Tintin flies a German plane (an Arado 196). Others say the ideology is not obvious and maybe it was done to fool [[censorship]] but it can be discussed.

Generally it is accepted that Hergé during the nazi-German occupation of Belgium tried to avoid writing controversial Tintin stories. The ones written in that period, ''The Shooting Star'', ''The Secret of the Unicorn'', and ''Red Rackham's Treasure'', are all stories in which the protagonists leave the known, political world in search of treasure elsewhere.

=== Post-war ===

''The Calculus Affair'' is anti-[[Stalinism|Stalinist]] but there is nothing specifically controversial in it.

''The Castafiore Emerald'' takes part for the [[Roma and Sinti|Roma]].  Captain Haddock and Tintin find a gypsy community camping in a garbage dump for want any other place they are to be in .  Disgusted at the community's mistreatment, they invite the  to camp on his estate grounds of Marlinspike over the objections of their bigoted butler.

''Flight 714'' is obviously mocking [[Marcel Dassault]] who was both Jewish and a weapon seller, this could be interpreted as [[anti-semitic]] by some but there's no reference to the fact he was Jewish. Weapons sellers are a recurring theme in Tintin, there are several (more or less obvious) references to [[De Havilland]] and [[Vickers Armstrong]].

=== Picaros ===

The last controversial album is ''Tintin and the Picaros''; it has been seen both as left-wing and right-wing. In it, Tintin goes through profound changes. Where the fans were originally put off by cosmetic changes, this is the first album in which Tintin changes from a faceless hero to somebody of flesh and blood. Where in all earlier stories the reporter was able to change his environment for the better, here he is able to change the enviroment too, through [[revolution]], no less. Or so it seems. For in the  very last panel of his very last finished album, Hergé shows how the new order still has the military keeping order in the slums, of which the inhabitants are off no better and no worse.


-----
To do: 
* Hergé got arrested: his working during the war was seen as collaboration.
* Hergé rewrote and redrew an enormous amount of his stories. For instance, Captain Haddock's heavy drinking got edited severely, and ''The Black Island'' was almost entirely redrawn, because the British publisher felt the depiction of [[England]] and [[Scotland]] in that album was outdated. Yet, possible [[racist]] and [[anti-semitic]] parts of the story were maintained. See http://www.cwi.nl/ftp/dik/strips/KUIFJE/ for examples.
*''The Red Sea Sharks'' is of course a statement against the modern day [[slave trade]], although it is not clear if it is ideological in nature.
