I frequent the gas station off Gregory at least a couple times a year. The pants shitting comes from slamming on my brakes and hoping I don't get rear ended by a god damn trash truck.

I just don't use it anymore unless I'm going to the Plaza... As usual, Cleaver found a way to make something that was seemingly good closer to useless.. He showed us!

Watkins....worst highway ever.

It is curious how MoDot is in the process of eliminating the two at-grade intersections on US-169 between Barry Road and Smithville, but defends them on US-71. US-169 probably sees about half the traffic in a day as US-71.

I-49 doesn't start until Grandview once you go under 470 and the triangle. It's still 71 from that point and to the north through town.

Holmes > Bruce Watkins

They don't have Cleaver. He's a preacher!! That part of town needs to get to work more evidently...

Well, I will say that Watkins is better than Prospect Ave, which is what US 71 Highway USED to be before it was built. I don't mind a couple of stoplights. It's a much faster way to get from out south to Downtown than before.

My mom lives in Arkansas. US 71 is very good road, glad it's going to be interstate now. Also, there is interstate from Bella Vista, AR all the way to I-40 when you keep going south. Goes through Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, etc. And the drive through the Boston Mountains on I-540 is spectacular. Major bridges in the skies. Beautiful drive in fall when the trees are turning colors.
