Eastbound Highway 40/64 at Boyle and Papin. Why was I not informed of this on ramp? I consider myself a knower of city traffic things. Back ways. Shortcuts. Routes to avoid. So then why after living in the city since 1996 was I unaware and completely oblivious to one of the most awesome on ramps ever? Does everyone else know about it and kept it a secret, much like my reluctance to tell others how cool the 22nd exit is?
I still drive like it's 1996: avoid Kingshighway, take Forest Park, merge into 40/64. Cut over 3 lanes of traffic to exit at Jefferson or 6th.
What a fool I was. Here was Boyle and Papin under my nose the whole time.
And so it's clear how stupid I've been- from 1996-1999 I lived in the CWE less than a mile from this on ramp.
I love this entrance so much. I pick Otto up from K-9 Athletic Club (yes, I send my dog once a week to doggie playtime) and jump right on that highway to the ominous Last Missouri Exit. And even though I make this drive with a 70 pound slobbering dog riding shot gun, it is a wonderful ride.
Yeah, that's a nice one.
ReplyDeleteYup. It's good. :^) Sorry I didn't tell you. Do you know about the secret post office? Not really secret. But it's the best one.
