@Monkey:
You have the worst traffic in the country. And I'm from southwest CT and I'm saying this.
And the worst drivers in the country. And I have driven through Providence and I'm saying this.lol, that's p much it.
You are correct on all accounts sir, I commute through that mess daily.
To this day I still refuse to do any driving of the sort into or within D.C
If I feel like heading to the museums or anything, I'll happily park it at the Metro and take that into the city. By comparison, I don't have a whole lot of problems navigating my way around Baltimore.
Thankfully I don't have to go all the way into DC, instead I just commute to College Park from Annapolis before they ship me up to Baltimore, which is a much easier grid system then DC, helps that the roads have actual names and not numbers.
