We got mail delivery yesterday but not the day before and not today. And I had
a letter sticking out of the mailbox for pickup, so I'm doubly
dissatisfied.-Debbie on Albany

Yes, Tappan Zee to sawmill is the best way to go. Get off 95 in NJ to get to
Tappan Zee. Avoid NYC completely.

We are advising them to cross the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge and then
take the Saw Mill River Parkway to I-84. Or to take the longer and less curvy

I just returned from a round-trip to Rhode Island -- a trip we make fairly
often.
On the way up, on a Weds., we sailed through the Delaware and GW bridges and
the Merritt Pkwy, but then endured stop-and-go traffic for the last hour or so
of CT. (Quite odd, since the problems are usually in the southern half. We left
around 9:00, got to the GW around 1:00.
Today (Friday) I returned and noted that northbound traffic was murder, from
Maryland on up. LOTS of vehicles plus roadwork here and there. Southbound had
a few slowdowns, but traffic was much lighter. Agree on Merritt Pkwy - it's
dicey - but infinitely more pleasant than 95 (even when moving slowly).So
leaving early is good -- but not traveling on a Friday is even better, if they
can do it.
All the workarounds you are suggesting may help, but they're longer and can
also have back-ups. My feeling is: take the direct route, leave as early as
possible, and hopefully not on Friday!!

We also drove to Maine a few weeks ago. Went on a Friday, leaving home at 9:00
am, and the biggest backups were in CT - on 84. We took the Tappan Zee and had
no trouble there (or in Delaware).

Some sidewalks can now talk to you in Takoma Park
Mike Murillo | mmurillo@wtop.comAugust 6, 2021, 9:57 PMIn one Maryland town,
some of the sidewalks are more than just cement, they are meant to inspire you,
make you think, or, in some cases, just make you chuckle.Sidewalk poetry is
going on in Takoma Park, and the poets are all residents of the town.Takoma
Park’s Arts and Humanities Coordinator Brendan Smith said he got the idea
from a similar project in St. Paul, Minnesota.“I thought it was just a really
cool idea, a way to get poetry out of poetry readings and out into the street
where people can see it,� Smith said.
More on WTOP
WTOP - Live on the Air
 Earlier this year, residents were asked to submit their poetry with a chance
to have it stamped into newly re-laid sidewalks, and Smith said more than 100
submissions came in. Poems from 10 adults and 10 children were selected for the
project.Among the poems on display is by Aissatou Thiam, 7, whose short poem is
now on a sidewalk near the intersection of Flower and Carroll avenues. It
reads, “Six Legs, Tiny Ants, Don’t crawl up my pants!�“I picked this
poem because I knew it was going to be on the sidewalk, and there are ants on
the sidewalk,� Thiam said. Also selected are lyrics from a song written by
longtime Takoma Park resident Richard Weil. The words are from his song “A
Melody,� and it reads, “Know, that a valley is a mountain resting.�He
said the words are meant to help people through difficult times, and he said
the person who owns the home on Flower Avenue near where his poem is stamped,
has told him the lyrics have really resonated with their family.We
il said he’s honored his poem was selected, and he hopes all the poems that
will eventually be stamped into re-done sidewalks will be enjoyed by those who
see them.“Hopefully it will make their day better, or make them think a
little more about how incredible life can be,� Weil said.Smith said so far
only three of the poems are in place, but the remaining 17 will appear as
sidewalks are redone throughout the town.“I like the idea of just people
being able to walk in their neighborhood, to sort of stumble by these and see
them, and maybe give them a little smile or something to think about,� Smith
said.Find out more about where the sidewalk poetry is located.Previous Takoma
Park, Maryland, resident Aissatou Thiam, 7, sits next to her poem that was
stamped into a sidewalk as part of the town’s Sidewalk Poetry project.
WTOP/Mike Murillo Richard Weil kneels near the lyrics of a song he wrote, that
is now stamped into a sidewalk along Flower Avenue in Takoma Park, Maryland.
Joining him in the photo is Aissatou Thiam, 7, whose poem is also on display
in the town. WTOP/Mike Murillo Poet Nala Miller, 7, in Takoma Park, Maryland.

I’d contest it. I doubt it’s a scam. Juxtaposed license plate numbers
more likely. The citation needs to have a picture of your license plate to
show that you were speeding. If it doesn’t, then it isn’t the DC DMV
sending the ticket, and you should report it to the DMV and to the police.

Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions for routes to New
England. There's obviously no perfect route, and everything depends on the
day and the time.

Recently passed though Connecticut as well on 84 - Waterbury is the
epicenter of some pretty miserable backups due to some construction. Avoid
if possible.

 We also drove to Maine a few weeks ago. Went on a Friday, leaving home
at 9:00 am, and the biggest backups were in CT - on 84. We took the Tappan
Zee and had no trouble there (or in Delaware).

Hi Kathy -
I just returned from a round-trip to Rhode Island -- a trip we make fairly
often.
On the way up, on a Weds., we sailed through the Delaware and GW bridges
and the Merritt Pkwy, but then endured stop-and-go traffic for the last
hour or so of CT. (Quite odd, since the problems are usually in the
southern half. We left around 9:00, got to the GW around 1:00.
Today (Friday) I returned and noted that *northbound traffic was murder*,
from Maryland on up. LOTS of vehicles plus roadwork here and there.
Southbound had a few slowdowns, but traffic was much lighter.
Agree on Merritt Pkwy - it's dicey - but infinitely more pleasant than 95
(even when moving slowly).
So leaving early is good -- but not traveling on a Friday is even better,
if they can do it.
All the workarounds you are suggesting may help, but they're longer and
can also have back-ups.
My feeling is: take the direct route, leave as early as possible, and
hopefully not on Friday!!

Ya totally depends on current traffic conditions. 95 in Connecticut can be
avoided by taking the pretty Merritt Parkway.

Hi all - we recently did this trip. Left east silver spring 9 Am and got
to mystic CT by 5:15 pm. Honestly Delaware nor NY were the main issues - 95
in CT was. I agree with leaving early (and not on Friday is you can)

Your only hope is to go early to avoid the traffic

Family members are driving to Connecticut, then Maine, soon with a
two-year-old on board and would like to avoid as many traffic backups as
possible. Brad recently drove to Hartford on a Friday afternoon and
encountered a significant backup before the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Is the Delaware Bridge issue ongoing, even on weekends? If so, is there
any way to avoid the backup?
Any thoughts on taking I-895 before BWI? We've done it and preferred it to
staying on 95, but Waze seems to prefer 95.
We are advising them to cross the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge and then
take the Saw Mill River Parkway to I-84. Or to take the longer and less
curvy I-684 to I-84. Or to tay on 287 to 15 to I-91 to 84.
All advice is welcome--
Kathy (on Cleveland)

Good evening, and apologies for gross question: Has anyone today seen
discolored water, especially in their toilet? I know of water main break
near transit center, and a friend on Westminster also had yellowish water.
Was curious if others were seeing the same. Thanks!
