How far is it from the eastern Houston city limits?
And the worms ate into his brain.
Don’t remember where the Eastern city limits are. It’s located
about 20 miles east of Beltway 8 and a couple miles north IH10.
But dinner? Not even if I had to eat dried rat instead.
Chum!
Now that is a heckuva idea >;-D
I keep thinking I am going to drive from one side of Houston to the other and see how many miles it is across. That is if they still put up a city limits sign any more.
Yes they still have them or they did a couple years ago.
An interesting tidbit about IH10 is that when you get on I-10 at it’s beginning in
West Tx you’ll drive almost 878 miles until you cross the Sabine River into LA.
It’s somewhere around 44 miles across Houston on I-10 some of which is basically
the city limit just following the Interstate on the north/south sides to
get commercial property..
I would have though it was more like 80 miles across than 40 . We don’t take I10 east very often but we take 288 south often and I45 north pretty often but I have never checked the mileage.
I was born here in 1940 I have seen a lot of change in Houston.
