Orlando traffic is a bitch. I4 might as well have parking meters. I dread having to drive I4. I have about 20 miles of I4 to do twice a day. It will make you want to kill.
I feel your pain daily... twice daily.  :tickedoff:

It doesn't even matter what time you drive there, it's always backed up.

It is so bizarre that traffic on 95 and 75 FLYS If you aren't doing 90 you'll get run over. But I4? all lanes going the same speed and it's never anywhere near the speed limit. I HATE it.

I am with Winghot,bring,em out WEST!!  To New Mexico :'(          Bandit :crazy2:

Pappy!

Don't have to go that far.
Head up to Lake County, about 35 miles North or Orlando. Nice countryside, live Oaks, 900+ lakes, and open two-lane roads. Shhhhh, don't tell anybody though....................

Do you have a schedule where and when. The bus will be. You might have some sneak in on you

Put one Interstate highway through the center of town. Now be sure to mark the lanes poorly and confuse this further by having the concrete roadway expansion grooves run helter-skelter across all the lanes. Now mix the blue hair drivers with young beginners, lost and distracted tourists with those just trying to get to work and back. And you have Orlando. Yuck. After 25 years I left for the sanity of the Midwest. My favorite bumper sticker: "Orlando - Thanks for Visiting - Now go home!!"

Orlando is nothing compared to Atlanta for me.  Atlanta I hate. 
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I don't have any options. To get from work to home you must take I4 or spend hours going down 192. No easy route. I can cut some of it off taking 417 and paying the tolls. I hate this town. Thats why I live out in the swamp. Just to get out of this madness.

 I lived in Orlando back in '68-'69 when I was stationed there in the Navy....before Disney.  I loved living there, it was just an overgrown small town.  Now I hate to even go there to visit friends and family.

So nice to be back amongst the crazy Atlanta drivers rather than the inept locals and visitors in Orlando.

I can only think the locals get annoyed with visitors and the visitors are tired/lost or lost and tired.

We've got them at Ingles and Bilo here, but only in special displays. They're not on the chip
aisle. I guess we'll know they're catching on when they show up on the chip isle?

HEY! I resemble that remark  >:(  ;)

Believe it or not, you can usually avoid all that crap if you know where/how to go. However, if you MUST travel I-4, you're screwed.

It's big $$$ to get a slot on the chip aisle!!!

The company is just trying to get placement anywhere in the store right now.

By far, Charley's is my favorite steak house in Orlando. All of their fare is awesome, but their steaks are the best. Secret is, they grill over orange wood. Yummo!

Pappy!

La Cantina is right up there with Charleys Steak House. Am amazed with either of those places.
