Marquette Interchange: the final verdict
When the Marquette Interchange was under construction, I couldn't wait until opened so that the clogs could open up like some magic traffic Drano. But now that it's done, shouldn't things be moving more freely?

The right way to drive home from the airport
The reasoning here is simple. The views, landmarks and general aesthetics of a 794 drive are far more appealing than the boring nature of the I-94 drive into Downtown.

Paul and Morgan Hamm looked like a couple of kids in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The now mature pair helped the U.S. men's gymnastics team make history this week in Athens.
