Worst city?

I grew up in the twin cities and hate that place and avoid it like the plague...Omaha may not be glitz glamour and full of pro teams but I can still get around there without it turning into a project .

 

There is one fish monger up there (Old word, bear with me; I don't know any modern equivalent...) called Whorleys in Pittsburgh. Been there forever it seems, delivered entire 18 wheeler loads into him. We always enjoyed that particular customer because walking into that place takes me straight back to the docks in Baltimore if that makes sense what with the history there.

Getting out is not fun. There is like two ridges to cross the hard way...

 

Having never been west of the Mississippi River (someday I will get to the left coast), I'd have to say D.C. is the worst for traffic. I'll willingly go to NYC before D.C.

But I stay local, around Harrisburg. And that's becoming bad enough anymore. The people around here have no clue how to drive..

 

I had heard a rumor in LA that there is a law or something to not allow trucks on the freeways during rush hour?
But then, rush hour is about 5 hours long in LA.

One time I took a drive that I had done in one hour. Speeding and all, in the middle of the night, from the north end of LA county, down into Orange county. This one trip started in Huntington Beach on Thanksgiving eve. Took me 6 hours!

It's pretty bad when the traffic report on the radio says: Forget it! Doesn't matter where you go. All the freeways are jammed up.

 

Atlanta is bad because you need to stay in the 2 right lane, yet they keep exiting only, so you have to move over, and then back after 2 more lanes join in.

 

Oh really? That is indeed a SHAME.

It's part of my early stomping grounds in that part of the area. Route 30 in particular.

I have gone everywhere small with a big truck and they were tolerant when I did run off the roads into the farms and woods. Even the occasional Amish horse buggy does well with me when I creep past gently without power. Ive wondered sometimes that poor horsie eyeing that monster on the left...

Here in the south there is still churching going on with yes sir yes mam etc and traffic aint bad, yet. But I can tell there has been a population growth in the last 10 years. We gone from what? 2500 to around 15 heading for 25K people if not more.
