I was at Giant Eagle in a separate part of town this morning (~11) and people trying to turn into the tiny front lot (like assholes) backed up traffic along the main roads for 3-4 blocks (could see it as I escaped back home). Wouldn't be surprised if this is due to a grocery store somewhere in the area

Oakland is pretty much a food desert

FYI, there's only 1 "s" in desert. Dessert has two, I always remember because I want to eat two desserts.

Thanks. I knew that, but I swipe-texted on my phone and didn't proofread well enough I guess lol.

Ahhh, that checks out. I too have been the victim of swipe-text grammatical errors a time or two.

According to Google Maps layers traffic is fucked all the way to Atwood from where you're at - that is the spot with restaurants and shit in every direction. Probably just pre-thanksgiving rush goin wild already

I escaped on reflection it was probably a mix of Pitt & construction.-I hope no one was hurt cos I’d feel like an asshole. Honestly I was just feeling sorry for myself cos I ducked out of tunnel monster traffic & immediately sat for ten minutes between Halket & McKee.
