Default Getting to TV from the Steel City

Don't know the rest of the directions, but DO NOT take 301 from I-10. Either stay on 10 to I-75 South or keep going south at J-ville. US 301 is a stoplight and speed trap hell hole and depending on when you're going thru, it can be reeeeeaaaaallllll slow. Try this thread. It might be of interest: https://www.talkofthevillages.com/sm...ic,3902.0.html

This one really might help, though you have to read it bottom up.

Take 42 to Rte 19. Make a left on 19.
Take 19 north to rte 40. Make a right on 40 and head east until you hit rte 95. Take 95 north until you hit 9A (around exit 337 I think) then take 9A north until it connects again to 95.

it sounds complicated but if you look at it on a map it isn't as confusing as it sounds..

Turn out the lights when you leave
A few years ago some Pittsburghers decided there should be a Pittsburgh club. The rec people said they discourage town clubs but would let them try. It went in the paper and 70 or so people called and said they would attend. The Pittsburgh club was given a room to hold that many plus some more. Around 140 showed up!!! (Numbers are close but not exact--it has been awhile) It did not take long before there was 700 plus in the club and no more could be accepted. Finally a second club was started so now everyone who comes can join one of them.
