That would be the only thing I miss about philly, if nothing other at
all.  I never had a traffic jam in philly ever.  All the other cities
I've lived in since, I can't even pick up dinner on the way home.

By the way, for the disillusioned, aka the mass majority on here,
Tollroads advertise all the time.  Either the state, or the local
authority.  Radio, tv, mailings, billboards. Even when that is the
only option.
