The media is much better at scaring everyone into thinking there are serial snipers and rapists running amok in St. Louis.

I think a lot of people who live in the south city tend to take other roads that are less busy, especially when they come visit me in my mid-county crash pad. I am amazed at the maze which some of them have conquered. So, they avoid Kingshighway, Hampton, and Grand near hwy 40. Plus, there was all that construction around Barnes and the CWE which may have effected their routes.

A lot of Republicans don’t take Kingshighway because they are frightened of the lights on the bridge over I-44…..it reminds them of a progressive and enlightened city.

Damn, I was hoping that little secret about Kingshighway was not going to get out anytime soon. It’s true, traffic now is easier to manage than it was when there was no construction. I have never been backed up onto eastbound 40 when exiting at Kingshighway. In fact, I’m usually the second or third car in line at that light. What a breeze it’s become.

I’ll also say that 40/170 interchange is easier to manage now as well. There are rarely any tie-ups to speak of. At that rate, I’d say fix all the roads.

Uh…wasn’t that the point of telling motorists to take other routes? To prevent more congestion? What is the problem if traffic is now much lighter than expected?

Actually, I rode my bike down Kingshighway this morning and it wasn’t bad. This is exactly what the media in this town does. They take a small issue and blow it way out of proportion. My advice to everyone is to avoid the local news. The content that is actually newsworthy is about 5%.

Oh I see…..the ole “Saskatoon Switcheroo” ehhhhh???

I take the Metrolink! Only 6o bux per month! No DWIs either!
