I’m driving through the Common this morning and I realized just how focked up the roads are. In order to traffic what is basically 1 or 2 blocks, I had to cross 6 intersections. –Face Palm

  1. Some smarmy fuck is bound to tell you to “get a bike” but I’ll take it one step farther and suggest you “get a set of Icarus Wings”. That way you can truly travel as “the crow flies”, get some wicked good exercise and help the environment, all at the same time. Just don’t fly too close to the sun and try not to crash in Fairview, cuz S.A.R. ain’t comin’ for you.

  2. it’s hilly. there is waterfront. it’s old. meh. if a neatly laid out right angled grid of streets excites you, move to the prairies. or surrey in bc where the royal army corps of engineers or whatnot laid out the streets in 1/8 mile grids. all numbered. BOOOOORING!

    me, I cherish the excitement and mystery here of what name a street will change to as it crosses another.

  5. Yet another place to avoid commuting.

    I hate that stretch of Agricola where at every intersection your whole damn car tilts back and forth…. and there’s a shitload of them. Drives me nuts.
