It's disgusting that so many of the freeways and other roads in this part of Texas are named after traitorous 'RATs. In addition to the Jim Wright Freeway, there's the LBJ Express, Sam Rayburn Tollway, S. M. Wright Freeway, R.L. Thornton Freeway and Marvin D. Love Freeway. Yet not a single one named to honor either Presidents Calvin Coolidge or Ronald Reagan. While the rural parts of Texas are great, that's proof of the urban areas (Dallas and Ft. Worth among them) being third world, socialist cesspools.
Yeah, the best they could do is the Bush Tollway, might as well be a Democrat.
Now if Jim Wright had been a senator from some blue state lieberal hellhole he could have stayed on and exited today as a glorious stiff. Too bad he missed out on all the senate country club perks in his latter years,
I pretty much ignore the “honorary” names of freeways and use the generic terms, and if someone tries to reference one of these names, I correct them and ask for the REAL highway name.
In my neck of the woods, it’s “820 West,” not “Jim Wright Freeway.”
Don’t forget all the Cong. Mickey Leland buildings, bridges, expressways, etc.
I take it you are not a native Texan
