I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...
... when the turnpikes get together for a social evening, does everyone else secretly laugh at PA behind its back?
With the experience of driving across a couple of states this weekend (all-home-days theme week continues), I feel certain that PA has to be the Willy Loman of the group. Or maybe it's the crazy plastic surgery addicted aunt who is always under construction, one project after another, whether she needs it or not. Or perhaps IL, IN and OH just work higher speed limits and more convenient rest stops into any conversation the way that a rich cousin finds a way to mention his new car in every discussion. Or could it be that they wait until PA is just out of earshot and then spill it's dirty little secret about tolls being removed from just one section of the pike (Bedford to Breezewood) to allow politicians easy and cheap access to DC? Or -- just one more --is it the creepy cousin in the corner talking about size when it's clearly known that, at least in this venue, it's all about what you do with what you got.
Whatever the case may be, I'm adjusting my return travel path to avoid you, you over-priced death trap of a toll road.
[All that said, let's still be friends because I love your tunnels and plan to use them in this upcoming Thursday's post. Hugs and kisses.]
