LIEs, Damned LIEs, and Statistics

AAA ranked the expected worst spots for holiday traffic this weekend, and, shockingly, Portland came in tops. (We didn't even know they drive to vacation spots out there; we always thought it was just one big REI-clad hike.) It's bad enough that New York doesn't come in first — have these people never seen the Midtown Tunnel on a summer weekend? — but it gets even worse. Both the Jersey Shore and the Catskills make the top ten, and the Island — which rightfully should be the best in all forms of summering, from cleanest beaches to fanciest restaurants to $90 million teardowns to even traffic — isn't on the list at all.
