I was too far from Central or 35 so I just chose to pay to sit in traffic.

Halloween night was always the worst. All those Plano/Allen peeps going home early (I got off work at 4:30) to Trick or Treat. Could take up to 2 hours some years.

/hijack- you following the World Series? I literally had tears after game 6 and again last night as the line-ups were read. Can take this to "What do you feel like saying right now" thread so as not to derail this one...
Yea, as soon as my lease is up, I'll be moving to Addison or Far North Dallas. I can't deal with all the "extra" on 190 and the Tollway.

I chuckled when you said "if" there's an accident lol

/hijack - It's funny that you bring that up. A couple of close frat brothers and friends live in Mansfield and suggested that we meet at BWW for the game.

I left work (Tollway and Legacy) early to "beat traffic" -- ha! It literally took me 2 hours to get to Mansfield. I couldn't believe how backed up Irving and Grand Prairie were going south. I knew it would be crazy going toward the Ballpark, but it was madness all around West Dallas/East Tarrant Counties.

BWW in Mansfield was PACKED and the energy was incredible.

ETA: This thread also reminded me of something a friend told me. Before living in DFW, when you see and accident, you think "Oh, my goodness. I hope everyone's OK!" After living here for a while, that changes to "Dammit, this person is screwing up traffic!" Lol
