The plight of the common fool who needs to get from one suburb to the other is forevermore relegated to taking the express(?)-ways. What an oxymoron that is. -YendorMike [link\|http://www.hope-ride.org/\|http://www.hope-ride.org/]

And if they just extend the EJ&E leg northward, it will eventually end up in Waukegan!
