It's much better than Starbucks. 30 years ago when I first went to Seattle I just had to go to Starbucks. So disappointing, and just as bad each time I try it now.

Re: $700 million I-80/29 reconstruction project

The first 8 years 425 million was spent on the reconstruction. The next 5 years 571 million will be spent. And finally, the last 2 years it will be 260 million. Considering that there are other highway projects in Iowa, I think this is pretty good.
