They ask, sipping from their Dixie cups.

Dixie highways are all over Florida. I have to say it was weird to see after leaving Maryland. But that’s what they named the roads. The history is still there even if you try to hide it.

This is the kind of idiocy you get when you allow someone named Sabrina Javellana to hold public office.

Before even U.S. Highways, there were “Auto Trails.” One of them was the Dixie Highway.

Others included:
Old Spanish Trail (ethnic bigotry), Lee Highway (probably racist also).

Correct. In 1925 the Agriculture Department created the US highway system to rationalize a disorganized system of auto trails. That responsibility was transferred to the Transportation Department in 1965.

Wow. What a mug on that broad.

If I went into a restaurant and she were the waitress, I think I’d just get up and leave.

I have a chicken named Dixie. I know she is not racist. Her sisters Daisy and Fat A$$ might be though.

Dear Susannah Bryan,

Until EVERY homeless veteran is comfortably off the streets, please go find a different soapbox to holler from

Part of Dixie Highway is in Michigan.

It was built to connect the Midwest with the southern states.

And no, we are not changing the name.

There are several bridged along the Dixie Highway. Use them to get over it.

She is for gender equality but is part of an womyn’s group. If the topic of this article is among her biggest concerns at the age of 22, she has it pretty easy. She should go into a VA and thank the MALES who were drafted into foreign wars for their service to OUR country.

Southern Yellow Pines remind me of slavery.

DEATH TO PINUS TAEDA!

Wow! That, whatever it is or was, is the optimum definition of “revolting”...

Broward County is a liberal sh*hole.
