TAT the hub of creative statistics.

That's actually almost believable ...  especially if you've been in the gridlock, southbound on Fri/Sat, or northbound Sun/Mon.   Timing is everything.

 

Works out to about 200-240k a week.  A few long weekend, and day trips.  

 

I've been there probably 10 times this year.

 

If out on the weekends, I always make sure I'm going in the opposite direction.
