They say patience builds character; if that’s true there is a lot of character development going on at the stoplight at Gateway Drive and Prill/Golf Road. If you’re thinking about slowing down your life a bit, take a trek to the intersection of Clairemont and Stein. You’ll get a slower pace for sure – of course, you may also get whiplash looking back and forth contemplating when you can pull into traffic without getting hit. There are lots of great reasons to travel down Highway 93, but the stoplights at Highway 93 and Hamilton Avenue are not among them. – Diana Peterson
