As a Farragut resident I'm confronted almost daily with the traffic snarl that has grown up around the Turkey Creek shopping district. Bad as it is now, my most recent jaunt into the future showed how much worse it could get. (Yes, I have a time machine, and no, you can't borrow it to zip forward and check out the next Microsoft or Google so you can invest early and retire young. Sheesh!)
