Remember all those signs on 198 and Riding Stable Road about the future inter-county connector? Well, segment 1, from I-270 (70-S in our Pallotti days) to Randolph Road/Georgia Ave. just opened. It's a toll road, EZ-pass only, $1.15. I took it from my office (I-270 @ Shady Grove Road) to Laurel to unkennel my dog, Harley, and it only took 5 mins to cover what used to take at least 1/2 hour.
Incidentally, Rocky George Kennel is now Rocky George Resort and Spa for pets.

Now the connector is open from I-270 to I-95, but I haven't taken it the full length. I wok in Columbia, now (job sucks), and take I-70/29/100 to work.
My beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback,Harley, had to be put to sleep last summer when he had a stroke. He was only seven. I'll never have another dog. He did love to go to that kennel, though.
