Tag Archives: Austin traffic

Left Mr. B. with our favorite babysitter this evening and headed downtown to join Mrs. Charm at a reception for one of her old friends. It took almost two hours to get there in bumper-to-bumper traffic, creeping along the speedway MOPAC (Loop 1) at roughly five mph. Not a wreck in site, just beaucoup traffic in the pouring rain. Austin is more like New Jersey everyday. Except, thank G-d, it doesn’t snow.
