I loathe I95 when going round trip to Raleigh that I have to do every so often.

I’ve sat up to three hours in one spot. A couple of tractor trailer trucks wrecked and burned.

This ping is likely not needed as every SC FReeper knows how thoroughly corrupt the SCDOT is.

Although that freak Lamont keeps trying to bring them back

Nonsense. I live off of exit 8 and drive I 95 north and south. It’s not that bad.

Try I 95 through VA, MD, NJ, NY and Ct and get back to me.


Agree. I drive through central PA rather than take 95 south through NY/NJ/PA/DE/MD. That stretch is just brutal. SC is a breeze compared to that.

Enter Illinois from St. Louis to East St. Louis, Dubuque to East Dubuque, or anywhere from from Wisconsin and it’s night and day. The roads and atmosphere change at the state line.

Interstates are identified as Odd Numbers North/South, even Numbers East/West.

The absolute worst! People shouldn’t have their cars destroyed when they travel.

We were driving from St. Louis further east on vacation. Thanks to multiple detours, we were sent to a not very nice looking area. A woman was gesticulating wildly from the right lane, trying to get people to pull over and assist her with an apparently disabled vehicle.

Not me! I'd seen National Lampoon's Vacation, where the Griswolds stopped in East St. Louis. I told my son and grandson why we didn't stop: it was very possible that one or more bad guys were hiding in the back seat, just waiting for someone to stop.

From what I observed, no other cars stopped, either.

In a way, I felt bad for the woman, if she was truly in distress. Given the reputation of that area for lawlessness, it was an easy choice. Plus, in our modern times and the availability of cell phones, help was merely a phone call away.

Sounds like I-88 East into Chicago - back in the 1970s!

Let’s welcome one million immigrants into our country annually.along with the unknown number of illegal immigrants without adding any new infrastructure. What can possibly go wrong?

Ummm, on a single trip through New York I broke a leaf spring and the spare tire mount on a brand new trailer.

Whoever the arrogant writer is needs to check it out.

Re: the hipsters move to Greenville, SC.

Does that include the last few decades of Furman graduates?

Furman has been completely transformed by former president David Shi and his successors.

Furman now offers just three majors: Sustainability, Diversity, and Community Outreach.

Oh, forgot to mention they have spent the last three years apologizing for slavery and segregation.

No doubt alumni will soon be asked to pay reparations.

South Carolina has the money to fix the roads, the gangsters in the government just prefer to spend it on their own “needs”.

SOB opened in 1950, the year I began first grade. I have lived my entire life except for military service of three years within an hour or two of it and never knew it was there until I was twenty some years old. I never actually saw it until I was twenty six and my first impression was to ask if this was somebody’s idea of an expensive joke. I don’t think I have ever spent a nickle there. It has to be the most overadvertised business in the world.
