The 15 minute State
Back in my college days, it was always joked to me that you could blink while driving through Delaware and miss it. True, I-95 crosses the most narrow portion of the state, but I just found this video on YouTube that does a nice job of illustrating driving across the state in 15 minutes:
There’s somebody with time on his hands.
On the other hand, I’ve made the trip from MLK exit to the Philly Airport Garage in 16 minutes (around 4-5AM!).
Looks familiar! I get on at Exit 3 and off at Exit 8 every weekday morning. I kept watching to see if the car would pass me.
That’s nothing Cassandra. I can make it from Exit 4 on 495 to the Broad Street Exit on the Vine Street Expressway in 25 minutes.
Wait, no, this is a fraudulent video. I know that curve from De Ave up to Concord Pike/Ave exit all too well. You can tell this is doctored. You want to know how? There is no #$%^&* accident clogging up the right lane coming on from DE AVE (due to the idiots who don’t know what a yield sign at the end of a ramp means or the idiots slamming over into the exit lane from the left lane).
Surely if this videographer was really there, you’d have a minimum 30 minute delay in that stretch due to a fender bender and the obligatory stares and ooohs and aaahs.
Hmm, I have made it from Edgemoor (Exit 4 on I-95) to the old Vet stadium in 20 minutes…of course that was pre-kids and responsibility. I could do it in 15 now! Kidding on that last part…
