THEME: phrases beginning and ending in state abbreviations: clever title
GOOD ONES: Way off the highway RAMP
Make bread from chips? CASH-IN
BTW: "Horton Hears a Who!" villain VLAD [good clue for kids; I'd prefer "Famous Impaler"]
Learned WISE [if only that were so]
Crossword gimme's (which I don't):
Thing to mind on trains
THE-GAP [only when
the is part of a well-used phrase is it acceptible in Xwords; the clue would better be "Abercombie competitor"]

RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
