Tell me about it. My commute's not only fucked due to the I-90 fuckery, it's also further shot because Barrington Rd. is one of the few streets that ain't under construction in the area and is therefore way heavier in traffic than usual, and that's the only route to my work from the highway that makes any sense. Sigh. My fave Chicago trafficism, btw, is: The shortest distance between two points is under construction. smr
