No argument there, but until my move away from 'the big city' there was
little option for the two lane twisties until you'd left the city
behind. You had two choices as to the departure route from the city: (1)
urban interstate, or (2) surface roads with a stop light every half
mile. Neither option seemed desireable. I now live in a rural setting
and twisties are right outside my door and I'm in heaven. Life in the
20th century (not for long).
