In yesterdays lead "editorial smorgasbord" the Pioneer Press had a picture
of 35E with a headline... "The Practice Freeway" and started out:
"Here at the Pioneer Press, columnists and reporters have long referred to
the stretch of 35E that runs through downtown St. Paul as "the Practice
Freeway" because the 45 mph stretch of limited access, divided highway is a
place beginning drivers can go to experience freeway driving without having
to drive freeway speeds"
I may be mistaking but isn't the "Practice Freeway" how Joe Soucheray always
referred to Ayd Mill road? In fact it was called the Short Line when he
coined the term, before that section of 35E even existed. It's also
possible my memory is getting muddled.
