People Cannot Drive on Highway 270 in St. Louis

I don't think I have driven on Highway 270 from Tesson Ferry to 40 in the morning or on the return trip in the past two weeks without seeing an accident. It is getting ridiculous. And when there is an accident, everyone has to come to a complete stop to look at it. A few weeks ago there were three accidents, one right after another on 270. I guarantee that this was caused by dumb assess having to look at the accident when they drove by.

Everyone always says that we should feel lucky, because the traffic isn't near as bad in St. Louis as it is in other places, like Chicago, Boston or New York. Maybe that is true, but those places also have 3 and 4 times the amount of people, and we still have terrible traffic. Those cities are also more developed than St. Louis.

I think that people from Illinois cause the traffic. They come to the west side and it is like they are driving in a different world. They never know where they are going, always cutting people off, and always driving slow.

When you are on highway 270 in South County and West County don't worry about what anyone else is doing. Just drive your car to where you are going. St. Louis has the worst stop and go traffic in the country. I don't even want to think about what this streach of highway will be like when 40 closes.

Phenomenal: The Most Overused Word by St. Louis Talk Radio Hosts

I am so sick and tired of hearing the word phenomenal to describe everything that is going on in the world. I know it is a big word and those guys on the radio want to seem smart but they are not fooling anyone. If I were to give some advice to talk radio hosts, and especially sports talk radio hosts, because they do it the most, it would be to stop using the word phenomenal because it is so overused it has lost its meaning. Be creative things are not always the same so stop using the same word to describe EVERYTHING. When I hear phenomenal now I think something or somebody is just O.K. So please stop using the word phenomenal so it can be used for what it really means.
