“So is that the reason for the demolition of the I-35W bridge in Minnesota? It must not have been big enough for transport. ;)”
Go to the window, look out, and wave.
Smile. You’re on camera!
Whatever you do, don’t answer the door.
: )
“The route that went to KCMO/KANKAN was a sort of local thing of interest only to KCMOians.
There’s nothing there folks!”
There are vast complexes of trucking facilities, right next to immense railroad facilities.
Immense warehouses.
And the downtown airport, which mostly handles freight and private aircraft.
Then there’s the BIG airport, KCI, within a 10 minute drive from downtown.
Most East to West Coast shipping goes through KC.
KC has been the center of American Commerce since the days of cattle drives.
There’s the MISSOURI river and KAW river between downtown and the airport. Barge shipping transportation center.
We still have the American Royal Cattle Arena.
KC is the city of fountains.
Know why? The boulevards here used to be cattle trails, and the fountains were built in locations where the watering troughs and ponds for Cattle used to be.
“Everything’s up to date in Kansas City”
KC is like one GIANT TRUCK STOP the size of New Jersey.
“OMG!!! Roads connected to other roads, we’re doomed.”
LOL!!!
Looking at the original post (again), I have to say that you shouldn’t expect much.
Your typical style. Nothing of importance to say, ever; but plenty of scoffing and juvenile remarks.
This was a juvenile remark.
Building upon existing roads is also how they continue to try to avoid informing citizens exactly their intentions, as they "piece meal" their infrastructure plans and never let onto how they are connected to other, intra and interstate roads/highways.
LOL! Shhhh, don't mention that roads are connected to other roads. That's funny!
grow up, toadster.
ROFLOL!
I quite forgot, of that you’re incapable.
tag team shows up.
Are you here to play “it”?
good grief.
I wish you’d both grow up.
In other words, you probably shouldn't go around shouting "Fifth Amendment" every time someone finds a highway on Google. Unless you are prepared to have a serious discussion, that is . . . then you might be surprised to see how grown up people on FR really are.
So....how many pieces of silver bought you, anyhows?
It’s bigger than just NAFTA. Before the USA settled down to more or less its present borders many assumed it would eventually include all of North America, Central America and at least the north of S America. The intent of these early planners was to set up trade routes to China, effectively moving Europe west, which is what Columbus had in mind. The problem then was trade routes to India and China went through those pesky Middle East tribal lands, still about the same as they were then, just plain annoying. The routes to China were the reason for the Panama Canal, for the Lewis-Clark expedition, the Transcontinental Railroad. Now the routes will include the Siberia-Alaska pipeline/railroad right of way. All for trade with China/India while bypassing murderous thugs. Pres Jefferson was indeed one of these planners.
