Jenny O'Connor ain't no douchebag. Skip to 1:44 for Cica Paleo.
Wowzers!!!!
I know. She's a classically trained violinist. Supposedly a really nice person, too. I'm not into Renaissance Fairs, but I would go just to hear her play.

All kinds of traffic. During rush hour, you could drive the one mile stretch of Farm Rd. in less than 45 minutes, which means it was under utilized. And Walnut Grove only backs up for a mile or so, so more exits to dump traffic there were needed, especially without stop lights.

I tried taking Union from downtown to avoid that flyover mess. Union was fine, but I could see traffic backing up on WG as I approached Farm Road. So I hopped off on Farm Road. Bad, bad, bad decision.

Yep. The whole idea is to torture drivers during rush hour, with every major road artery under construction at once. There is no good alternative, except gyrocopter.

You can thank TDOT
I thank them every time I get caught in that nightmare, although a lot of the words have four letters and start with an F.
Shelby farms will be one of the best parks in the country by next year. I don't agree with everything they're doing but do agree with a lot of the park changes

It's a nefarious plot to inconvenience as many people as possible.

I'm sure that it will be turn out to be very nice. It better. All I am saying is that the road is desperately needed and many of those who opposed it are huge hypocrites.
