Friday I was in Dallas visiting the King Tut exhibit and the sixth floor museum. I left around 5 pm and it took me an hour and a half just to get out of the city. Is this normal, and if so, how do you guys do it everyday?

    I know, it was stupid of me to leave at 5. Have you ever eaten at The Butcher Shop downtown? It was awesome.

    No I haven't, but I'll look for it...

    Yeah, driving after 3 and before 7 is not something I do on a weekday in Big D...

    Easy:

    1st- stay off any major road that starts with an I, especially I-35
    2nd- stay off the road unless it is after 10pm and before 4am
    3rd- stay out of Dallas at all costs, Fort Worth traffic is much better [:D][:D] and the people in general seem a lot nicer [8D]

    Hope you enjoyed your visit though; ya'll come back ya hear [:o)]

    It's those damned U-turn lanes on the highway that confused me!

    I stay off of these roads if at all possible between 4 and 6 in the afternoon. I-35, I-30, Hwy 75, 635, 183, Loop 12, 114. luckily one of my first jobs when I moved back to DFW was a courier service so I know the ins and outs of all the side roads pretty darn well.

    I avoid Dallas like the plague, which is a reasonable comparison.

    I'm in Dallas 5 days a week since I was 16.

    I don't live here, but work here for the money.

    Pay is good, so I put up with the traffic.
    It does suck mucho.

    I plan to come back. I wouldn't mind going to some Cowboys games, and I could go to the dealey plaza everyday and not get sick of it. Next time I'm down there, maybe Mateo and I could go see the Lee Harvey Oswald Band.[:)] I hear they rock the house.
