>>Believe me, Jeff (and I'm not indulging in one-upsmanship here), if you think Atlanta was bad, try Chicago. It's virtually impossible to go any distance without running into some construction on the expressways. I-294 is a toll road (with about a half dozen toll booths from one end to the other). People drive bumper-to-bumper at 60 MPH (when they're moving, which sometimes isn't much).

I think I've heard similar stories about 294< g >. In Chicago, given the extremes in weather, it's a little easier to understand. I mean it can and does get up over 100, and can go well below 0. Add the traffic...and roads don't hold up very well. There are some streets in Chicago that look (and feel) like they've been hit with a couple of hundred rounds of mortar fire.

It wasn't bad here when we first moved here. Since then the population has increased about fourfold. With it the traffic has gotten pretty bad. Not Chicago bad by any means, but by comparison to what it was...:-(
