I have to take Hempstead TPKE for part of my commute - it's a nightmare and I'm not the least bit surprised. It also goes through the colon of Nassau County. You know you've hit Hempstead when you have the sensation of being under a dark and dismal cloud, so you look up to see it, but there's no cloud - that's just Hempstead.
