    That's not good, it seems when local businesses do that for the most part it does not work

    So wonder if I should go play lottery(just not in IL) lol. Left at 1am GPS said arrival time 7:30am and I arrived at 7:37. Was doing 65 all the way to US Cell then from US Cell to my exit did 40mph I couldn't believe it. I will say the turn from Fullerton onto N Pulaski was a PIA with a bus sitting on the corner of Pulaski lol

    Nice, was not a lot of traffic early today, I think a lot of people are on vacation already. The travelers will be out later. Play the IL lotto, get that big stack of iou s.

    Yup the bus just sat there I waited 5-10mins to turn and it never moved and if course the 4 wheelers in turn lane and other lane are oblivious to fact I can't turn with them there lol. Finally just moved out with nose of truck heading north and didn't move till they backed up and gave me room lol

    I occasionally go to the Newlyweds location off Wrightwood, so I knew a right onto Pulaski from Fullerton is hard. Sometimes, it's easier to make 3 lefts and cross instead of trying to turn right. Other ways accomplish the same thing.
