      This place exists because two interstates intersect each other at this point, did you expect a tram?

        True, it’s not like in the comic where it evolved from a regular town. It’s just such an iconic example of a horrible modern landscape. Plus I used to drive through it on my way to CMU from Maryland, so I have a personal connection. It was the halfway point so a very handy rest stop to be honest.
