OT: Traffic nightmare getting to the Dome

[Uncle John]

New bumpouts installed on N. Broadway on the east side of the Dome are causing a traffic nightmare.

This is so sad. I hope I don't cry.

There's going to be a major rally in downtown St. Louis this Sat, 3-28 starting at 11:00am. Allow time for traffic to get to the Dome from wherever you're driving from.

Unbelievable that the city issued a demonstration permit for the same day that the Hawks, Cards, and Blues are all downtown.

I know right, who would imagine high traffic in a major downtown?! What an inconvenience! Someone really needs to think of the comfort of the twice yearly suburban visitor and his reliance on a quick escape back to their safe suburban sprawl. It certainly makes me big mad!

Take Metrolink, It's quick, easy, hassle free, and a lot cheaper than parking. Wherever you live, drive to a Metrolink station with free parking, which is most of them, and sit back and relax.

If you live in West St. Louis County near Manchester Road, you can ride the Metro bus for $1.00 to the MetroLink station in Maplewood. There are dozens of metro bus stops on Manchester Road from Wildwood to Maplewood. Last year, I started riding the bus then taking the metrolink to downtown St. Louis for sporting events and concerts. A round-trip ticket for bus and metrolink rides is $7.00.

Those of us who do go there are very glad that you don't.

I will attend your funeral........and I'll bring a date..

I get off at St Louis Avenue from 70 all the time. I take it to Blues, Cardinals, CITY SC games. Typically, I take the MetroLink for Battlehawks games, because I always find better, free parking for the other teams.

The Dome being just enough off the beaten path and the Game times make it a little more enjoyable to linger around downtown. However, I’d probably do the same even if it was a concert, though Ticketmaster has made the purchase of concert tickets an absolute racket.

I looked at the prospect of Nosebleeds for AC/DC at the time they went on sale, and it was ~$130 for the pleasure of having your back against a wall

That's a rather mean spirited response, but not surprising from one who seems bitter and angry at the world, By the way, I will have no funeral. My body is being donated to the Washington U Med School. Even in death, I want to do some good in the world.

Does anyone here know; how was the traffic today downtown?

While not having the opportunity to celebrate your demise as a group is disappointing, we are pleased that you understand that your death is, indeed, good for the world.
