Memphis is sorta/kinda like Hot-lanta. I take the run-around roads and don't try going right through. Generally quicker and less flustrating.

Best experience we had driving thru Atlanta was one January night,
about 8 pm. By then, evening rush hour was over so we went thru with no slow downs. We've been on the leading edge of the evening (mid
afternoon) rush hour and moved right along but the evening time was
even smoother sailing. We'd stopped for a later supper about an hour outside the city, gave the traffic time to clear.

When I was trailer trucking the big rigs were not allowed "downtown" unless there was a bill of lading for a local address.

We were either going thru with just our vehicle (car or truck) or
vehicle plus camper; the January trip was with the camper. We'd been
out west to visit our girls for Christmas, came home the southern route
so we could visit some friends in Alabama along the way. Also avoided
any storms going thru the central or northern part of the country. (G)

Through or around varied depending on time of day and day of ther week. Cincinatti was *always eaqsier to go around. Indianapolis usually was a
clear shot thru. And Chicago ... let's not e'ven go there BV)=

No harder than when we were chirrun - especiallly if you're pre-TV as
I wss.

We got our first tv when I was 9 years old. Parents didn't listen to
radio except in the morning to get latest news/school closings/etc. I don't really remember what we did pre tv, probably read a lot of books. I'll still turn off the tv and grab a book most nights.

We got our 1st TV when I was 10 - do 1952. It got two stations since
the UHF band was but a glimmer in Lee DeForrest's eyes.

We got our first one in the early 60s, maybe a year or so (don't
remember exactly) before the JFK assassination. Only got one station
for the first few years, then only 2 until I was in college & the local cable guy talked my parents into hooking into a system that gave them a lot of NYC channels. Later on, he tied one in a local (60 miles away) station so folks could have local news/weather.

Our first "Community Antenna" was just that - A very tall antenna that pulled Stations from100 or so miles away (St. Louis/Champaign/Peoria) so we had a
good selection of nrtweork and 'ocal-ish programming.

I remember when my dad came home with a 17" table-top TV and it was
the "cutting edge" of technology. Heck, my confuser's monitor on

this DD> unit is 27" And Dennis is usig the 45" boob tube in the
front room as a monitor.

Steve used our only tv as a monitor for his C-64 for the first year or
so. I'd ask him to be done so I could catch news/weather at 10; he'd
say "OK" but Johnny Carson would be almost over before he'd quit. After
a 3 month TDY, he used some of the pay saved from that to get a proper monitor.

My first Commode Door 64 has the factory 1702 monitor. It stayed as a VCR monitor long after the confuser was upgraded.
