...."I will stay in small town America"...........

Mr. RR and I just returned from a road trip to southern Colorado. (had to visit a sick relative) The trip from Rapid City, SD. to Cheyenne, Wy. was wonderful. Very little traffic, good weather. No problems. We traveled on I-25 from Cheyenne,Wy. to Pueblo, Co. It was a nightmare. Two years ago this trip (from Rapid City to Pueblo, Co.) took eight hours. This time, it was eleven hours. The traffic was unbelievable! And this is in the wild, wild, wide open west! I can't even imagine what is happening on the coastal areas. Around Denver and Colorado Springs we were caught in traffic jams that were comparable to ones we have been in Shanghai and Mexico City.

What a mess.

I agree. Think I will stay home. Everything I need I can find right here.

A side note.......seemed like every other car was full of "other than Caucasians".

Same here the it was like going to a foreign country. I had given up on Atlanta about 15 years ago. I prefer to remember Atlanta when it was a playground, the only danger was tripping over a hippie sleeping in the park.

Dayton and Ormond Beach (mother -in-law lives here) have always been crowed. Now we have surrendered Florida. We ran into people that I couldn't even figure out where they were from, much less talk to them. ( Hubby says I listen too much, leave me with anyone and in 5 minutes I know there life history) LOL

The was the shocker was from Myrtle Beach to home Hwy.74. We used to ride motorcycles on this road and stop in the little towns spend the day just bumming around. Now it is 6 lanes and shopping centers for about 200 miles. All this has happened in the last 4 years. Where did all this money come from? It takes time to build a business. They left the old quaint buildings empty and built all new buildings in the middle of nowhere.

Now we are boxed in on all sides and "the Yankees are coming" LOL

We lived in Denver many years ago (when the freeway still had what was known as the "mousetrap"). We had a beautiful new home in the foothills. Sold it and moved away when we heard the field full of praire dogs behind us was going to become a shopping mall.

As I recollect from news reports back in those days, LaRaza had quite a foothold in Denver way back then (25 years ago roughly).
