^^Xprsway^^
I used to like Deleware Ave. The "street" was no less than 5 lanes wide
per side, but traffic only flowed on 1-2 lanes in pretty much single file,
while switching lanes sometimes 3 or 4 lanes at a time due to all the rail-
road tracks and potholes(sinkholes?). You could always tell an out of towner
by the sparks he through up by bottoming out.
