Must be hell to live there in December. I once passed several miles of cars backed up waiting at the McAdenville exit.
They keep a back road open only for residences use. I am sure that most living there enjoy it and don't mind. They knew what they were in for when they bought a home in McAdenville. It is not like this is something new.
I feel sorry for the surrounding towns of Lowell, Belmont and Cramerton. They get all of the hassles of the traffic, but they do not share in the fun of it all.
