    "Easy because of excellent location to airport, mall of America, Target Home Depot, all the highways. I get on 62 take it to 35 and take that to 98. It’s excellent! The only drawback is the traffic buildup on the way home. 62 is backed up East and west. It’s only about a 5 minute wait then I take the Bloomington exit and I’m home."
