Well said Michael. In 07 we started next to LSL, then slowly moved 4 times farther south, last move to Richmond. Closer to turnpike and I-75.
We leave the bubble 80% to dine, beach, and enjoy parks. We drive about 5-15 miles less every time we leave the bubble. It’s not just the mileage we save on, but the mind numbing time of roundabouts, and those who have difficulty driving.
