Southeast / Re: Interstate 73/74

Wade Avenue was originally I-40 before it got extended eastward. Although I-440 didn't exist then, it ended at US 1/64 then.

Why I bring this up is the same scenario with I-74 near Greensboro with part of an interstate being downgraded so it can be realigned to continue before its terminus.

I agree though, Wade Avenue should be numbered instead of having freeway with a non freeway street name. Even if it's an NC designation, it's an improvement.

OKC trying to say it is a world destination as opposed to a large city in a small state.

First time in OKC, eh?

I always cringe when I fly into the OKC Airport and see "You've arrived in a big league city" or something like that. It has pictures of a 50 story skyscraper, a pedestrian bridge, and some Asian guy cooking food.

Suggestions and Questions / Re: Theme Change?

I've wondered myself if the temporary theme change turned off/deterred a lot of the P13-like posters. 

Then why change it back?

I'm fine with the new look myself.

If I eat the cake, I still have it.

Not for long, though.

Unfortunately, a lot of hotels are doing this too, but instead of cleaning fees, they're "resort fees".

Who's facking harebrained idea was it to have major lane closures on both I-94 bridges over the St. Croix at the same time:


This past weekend was almost just as backed up as today's afternoon rush...

The phrase "have your cake and eat it too" is referring to the fact that once you eat the cake, you no longer have it.

Paul Brians has a good explanation along the lines of what you've noted:

The most popular form of this saying—"You can't have your cake and eat it too"— confuses many people because they mistakenly suppose the word "have" means "eat," as in "Have a piece of cake for dessert." A more logical version of this saying is "You can't eat your cake and have it too," meaning that if you eat your cake you won't have it any more. The point is that if you eat your cake right now you won't have it to eat later. "Have" means "possess" in this context, not "eat."
