Pro tip: The shortcut through the alley behind Main Street cuts 15 minutes off my commute

I was stuck in traffic every morning near the old bakery on 4th, then I noticed delivery trucks using this narrow alley and figured I'd try it. Now I save 15 minutes every day and pass that cool graffiti wall that nobody knows about. Anybody else found a weird back way that actually works in your town?

There's a cut-through behind the old gas station on Elm that shaves a solid 12 minutes off my drive to the grocery store. The trick is you have to time it right around 11am when the delivery trucks move out, otherwise you get stuck behind a dumpster. Last week I even spotted a cat that lives in a box back there, feels like my own little secret shortcut now.

My buddy tried a route through a construction site once. Saved him ten minutes but he got chased by a guard dog half a block. Said it wasn't worth the adrenaline rush.
