Tim Pawlenty

The governor of Minnesota who proceeded to fuck up the state. Because of him and his idiots in legislature, Minnesota may go into a state shutdown.

When Tim Pawlenty leaves office I'll be sure to throw a party.

Crosstown Commons

An interchange between Interstate 35W and Minnesota State Highway 62 in Richfield, Minnesota. Traffic often backs up for several miles. Try to avoid this area in full but if you must enter it, DO IT BEFORE RUSH HOUR OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

To bypass the crappy Crosstown Commons, use I-494 or local streets.

Interstate 694

Possibly the worst freeway in the Twin Cities except maybe Crosstown 62. It certainly has the two most dangerous interchanges in the metro, filled with weaving and tightly spaced interchanges, at I-35E and also at a huge interchange with MN 51 and US 10. Also has a crappy interchange at I-35W and and a useless dual-signage route with I-94, which is its parent route anyway.

"The fastest way to Minneapolis from here is I-694 to I-35W."

"Let's take Highway 100 or 169 to I-394 instead, because I don't want to get killed."

"Agreed."

Fish Lake Interchange

The interchange of I-94, I-494, and I-694 in Maple Grove, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The interchange marks the western ends of both I-494 and I-694. Often congested on eastbound I-94 in the mornings, sometimes too early to be imagining traffic jams like that.

I-94 East is jammed up from the Fish Lake Interchange to 95th Ave.

Wanna take US 10 instead?

You bet.

State Highway 100

a. A 15-mile long freeway in the Twin Cities area connecting several major freeways

b. a state-maintained highway with the number "100"

"You want to take State Highway 100?"

"No, traffic kills on that freeway."

Interstate 35W Minnesota

The west half of Interstate 35 through the Twin Cities. It is about 41 miles long and serves downtown Minneapolis and some western suburbs. However some parts of it are crappy and desperately need reconstructing. See Crosstown Commons. It needs help with interchanges with I-94 and I-494/MN 5 as well. In the future it may even need help with its interchange with I-694.

Unless absolutely necessary, take I-35E through the Twin Cities instead of I-35W.

Interstate 76 (Western)

One of two interstate highways with the "76" designation (the other being in Ohio and Pennsylvania with about 3 miles of Jersey mixed in), this is an extremely boring nowhere freeway. Its sole purpose is connecting Denver to Chicago and Omaha (via Interstate 80).

It runs from Interstate 80 at Big Springs, Nebraska, through absolute nothingness for 180 miles, and then ends at Interstate 70 in Denver with NO WARNING. Without knowing it, you are now on Interstate 70, heading west towards the potentially dangerous Rocky Mountains.

"Well, kids, here's Interstate 76!"

"zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Only 186 miles to Denver!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
