Just for the record, when you pay to leave, you are paying NY or PA.

I had to read that one twice. For a minute, I thought you were talking about Ted Kennedy. Then I realized you were only talking about a "hole", not an "%&*hole".

My bad.

At least you can get in for free. Illinois makes you pay to get in, and then about every 300 feet after that till ya get out (finally) and ou end up a few pounds lighter in the wallet! Oh wait, that was Chicago

And thats just the toll booths....after you get by them you still have to face the Illinois State Police with ther hand out. They are writing tickets right and left for obscure bull crap laws just to generate revenue.

ISP no longer stands for protect and serve....just another form of generating revenue!

Let me guess, Les. One of the unfortunates nailed by Barney Fife lately on IL 61, with a ticket stub resembling a small book?

LOL. That"s too good George.

When we were kids and the tourist would come to Maine in the spring, we used to put a sign at the south end of town that said " Save Gas Stay In Mass."

That thing stayed there all summer one year.

No offense meant to Mass bros and sisters.
