This is breaking protocol in a big way, but I have to pull back the curtain. Hi. This is Eric Rasmussen. I’ve written the “Worst Road” blurb every year for more than a decade now, and every year, it’s the same. City planners of yore majorly biffed the Oakwood Mall area. Something about the U.S. Highway 53 bypass turns drivers into huge, mean butt-faces. And honestly, no teasing, I will pay $100 to anyone who can explain to me why they can’t time the stoplights on Clairmont to allow for minimally impeded travel. But these finishers will never change. We live in some sort of traffic twilight zone. See you next year for the exact same results. –Eric Rasmussen
