The best part of the one at Nabisco is I dont think I have ever seen anyone use the driveway either in or out but they stop and hold six lanes of traffic just in case .

Yeah thats a bad one....backs up with people turning left on Comly also....mostly Pepsi trucks...

The double lights are to slow southbound traffic.

Don't ask me how I know but it's this kind of BS that you can't stop.

(One person whines about death and they jam traffic to counter it...)

I had lived in the NE for 35 years before giving up. During that time I was involved in countless civic organiations and participated in more political campaigns than I care to imagine, trying desperately to get people to listen and think for themselves.

And do you know what I found? More people than not just don't care to take the time and think for themselves. They keep electing the same crooked incompitent idiots because their union told them to, or God forbid they have a political party affiliation that they don't agree with.

After John Street got re-elected, I was officially done. I was a volunteer for the Katz campaign and I had a simply argument for people. The Democratic party had a stranglehold on the City of Philadelphia for 50 years. During that time, the city has lost hundereds of thousands of jobs and citizens do to crime, corruption, taxes, decay, war zones that pass for schools. Compound the fact that John Street was a MAJOR particpant in this for over 20 years and not only had he done absolutely nothing to imrpove things, the district that he represented was among the poorest and most crime ridden in the entire city.

And what happened? The great white conspiracy fueled by some of the most disgraceful race baiting as seen by the likes of Saidel and Brady (2 men who would be your next mayor by the way). Don't believe me, am I a bigot? Just watch A Shame of the City and see for yourselves.

Me, I'm tired. I reached the unfortunate conclusion that my efforts can be used to some greater effect elsewhere. Did I quit? Did I run? YES And inside I weep every day that this decision was forced upon me.
