I dread going inside. I just can never believe that people can work that slow! I continued north to Tenth Street, and then headed East. Yeah, I made the most of a big circle, but isn't that really all my trips? At Franklin Road, I headed back north once again. I would be on Franklin Road until Pendleton Pike. This road, which has been under construction forever it seems,
