We're back! I considered doing 295 in Jacksonville this week for the opening of NFL preseason, but maybe KC will play the Jags in the playoffs, so we'll focus on a baseball grudge match. Should 270 and 255 all be one road that intersects itself. or is it fine as is? What's with the weird numbering? Why can't MODOT and IDOT agree on control cities in the same metro? These questions and more are pondered as we head to St. Louis!
