Are you saying to us that you could care less if the freeway system existed
or not?
My guess is that you commute every workday from Minneapolis to St. Paul and
back again using Freeway 94...a convenience you yourself probably don't give
much credence to.
There are people (like my 91 year old father) who avoid driving the freeway
system altogether and use alternative city streets. Can you imagine the
traffic mess if everyone did what he does? It's already a mess with the
freeway
system...much less without one.
There are casualties to progress...not to say that progress is always in
man's best interest.
There had to be a freeway built and it had to go through the heart of the
city like every freeway does in this country.
I'm sorry Caty Royce. Unlike you I am not nostalgic on the loss of Rondo.
Fortunately or sad, most of us need a freeway to get us here to there.
And, if you yourself use it, then you are hardly one to say it's cosmic
justice to lose it.
