Letters to Gigi and the Beltway...
Dear Gigi-
You, my dear, were made of win this afternoon. I have no idea how you did it, but I popped up on the west side, looking around incredulously. Since there was a beltway fail, I figured I’d do some exploring. Somehow, once I finally convinced you that, no, I really don’t want to beltway it, you found these roads which were moving. Not only that, but I wasn’t in the worst part of Baltimore.
And somehow, I popped up next to the Walgreens I drive past every day for work.
You never cease to amaze me. And thanks for giving up on the beltway. I just may have found another way home.
Rockin’ Out in Kermit,
Your Owner

Dear Beltway-
WHY when there is three drops of rain, do you just STOP? Like, really? The outer loop BLOWS sometimes. And where does the traffic go or come from? It’s like your cousin, I-83. I never understand that how, when I’m traveling to Allentown, there’s a RIDICULOUS amount of traffic right before the Pennsylvania border, but once you cross, it’s gone. There’s no ramps, no merging, nothing. These people just disappear after the PA state line.
Regardless, at least I don’t travel the inner loop of I-695. I don’t understand your inner loop, Beltway. I understand certain times would be heavier than others, but why is the inner loop ALWAYS jammed up? If all of those people are heading north on the inner loop in the morning, wouldn’t the outer loop be heavy? But no! The inner loop is always a parking lot.
WHY? I don’t understand. Where do those people go?!
Your Unfortunate Driver,
Jess
