Bless your heart if you have to travel on the 290.... Any moron that thought 4 lanes down into 1 with a merge from the 94 was a GREAT idea trying to get to the Loop...HA come to Illinois, it's insane, the crappy roads, the nut cases, the traffic. Hell I telecommute 80% of the time and when I drive in early morning traffic I dread it because people are ****ing retarded. I some times wonder how half the people here have jobs let alone make it to work on a daily basis
