Here is my trip in the morn:

Get on 80 West, get on 635 North, turn right on Preston, turn left on Spring Valley, and then left on Noel, then Right on Southern Blvd, and then left into the parking garage.

Easy as pie.

Well yesterday I stopped at the circuit city by Town East Mall, and right now you have to take Town Center to get to 80 east, so I thought I would be smart and just stay on the service road and it would lead me to town center. Well I quickly learned that either I missed the road or something because the next thing I know I am looking at I-30....and ended up in Garland, which wasn't exactly Forney. So needless to say I took the long way home.

And one more thing. People need to learn that the right lane is for people to get out of my way. They need to post a new sign. "Left lane is for Crystal only!!!!!" :crazy:

Buffy, I have been driving more on than off in DFW for 30 years and it just keeps getting worse. All I can say is I feel your pain. But you will learn the appropriate shortcuts as time goes on. Living in Celina and working in Frisco is the deal. 20 minute drive time and not much traffic. Just road construction......

Should have moved to Bobcat land instead of Rabbit country. I bet you would have looked good in Orange too and Terry would have to admit this is heaven.;)
