Oh, and to answer your question more specifically, traffic is going to be a conplete shteinshow. I've noticed it starting to get backed up as early as 345-400ish, and the wait to get on 95 from 202 alone is probably going to be 15-20 minutes
It's a farging nightmare.  Son got some funky virus and was throwing up like the exorcist and sporting a 103.9 fever so our doctor had us take a trip to the ER at AI Dupont.  Going up wasn't bad around 11am, but leaving at 5, there was no way around it.  I took backroads out to montchanin rt52, figured I could hook up to 141.  It was stopped from well before Hagley all the way up to 141.  Went thru Greenville out the back way and whenever I came out to a main road it was a mess. 

Basically daily drivers are farged.  My brothers girl works at Crozier and Springfield hospitals, and it's taking her an extra hour to hour and a half just to get home.  Yay Dwight D Eisenhower infrastructures.

Yeah that bridge out of the Experimental Station and the surrounding area is always backed up at rush hour, even when there's a 495 to use. Did you make it to 141 and then get on 48/Lancaster Pike? That was the way I take to get out that direction when I'm going that way. Turn Brackenville and that cross over 7 and goes right out to the DE/PA border. Probably the very long way to go for you to get home.

FWIW...there's also an Iron Hill Brewery location in amongst the other chain places.

Yes, thank you, I knew there was another name I was forgetting that most would know.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

I ended up just saying the hell with it and drove the back roads across Pa until I hit back to 273 in MD.  Probably would have take the same amount of time if i sat thru I95 hell, but I prefer to be moving than sitting.

So they're diverting bridge materials from the Tappenzee project over to this.  If all goes well, end of summer.  Otherwise you're looking at january 2015 if they need to design new supports.  Crazy

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Don't know how long it's been since any of you hit up the Philly zoo, but I went on sunday for the first time in I think 9+ years. They built a bunch of walkways overtop of paths in the big cat house and the path outside of it that allow the tigers and jaguars (and maybe others?) to walk around over top of everyone. It's pretty cool.




They did it for the monkey's too, and said within the next few years they plan on expanding the monkey walkways throughout the entire park, and eventually the big cats as well.

I didn't think Dio showed sadness and compassion!

Wait until someone tries to sue the zoo because a tiger shtein on their head. Or their kids head. Maybe the kid will be named Connor.
