College students hoping to create new interstate from Texas to Georgia

Ft. Hood is located next to Killeen, TX; thus a faster way to get from Ft. Hood, TX, to Ft. Benning, GA? I wonder how near Ft. Polk, LA, is to the proposed route?

Did nobody on this thread watch Smokey and the Bandit?

[GreyFriar]

I haven’t watched Smokey and the Bandit for years. I probably should catch one of the showings on TV.

I obviously don’t know the area, as I would have assumed that would involve putting a bridge across a crack in the sidewalk. I still don’t know exactly where the boundary between the two “cities” that comprise my “home town” is located.

I tried to watch it last night. It wasn’t as I remembered as I loved the movie when I was a teen. I might would have enjoyed it if I hadn’t bailed when they reached Texarkana. I decided that I needed sleep more than I needed annoyance.

[GreyFriar]

“Not as I remembered it....” I have often found myself thinking “why did I watch this tv series every week when I was younger” when I occasionally look at an old ‘favorite’ TV show on one of the ‘oldies’ channels.

““This opens up for LaGrange the entire southern part of Georgia”

Traveled through LaGrange many times back when I was a teen. The one consistent thing about that town was that 9 times out of 10 you’d get stuck at a train crossing for 10 minutes.

“We need more and wider interstates.”

With speed limits set to Autobahn!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Oh goody. Make it even easier for the illegals and drugs to get here.

[Bogey78O]

A Lafayette-New Orleans route would solve most of that, probably.

Well, all I know is, whether it’s 494, 36, 62, or 94, it’s a parking lot. Both ways.

Ask the people on the old Route 66 how it helped draw in business after the large highways replaced it.

These kids are blithering idiots.

Highways pass the small bergs. Nobody passes through them any longer.

That will run through much of the old "Black Belt" - which originally referred to the color of the soil but is now taken as referring to the large African-American population.

One reason why it's I-14, is because of the 14th Amendment.

Building the highway may or may not be a good idea, but if Black farmers start losing their land, you will hear about it.

Killeen-Ft. Hood=The Armpit of Texas.

(Meaning Killeen MINUS Ft. Hood = The Armpit of Texas.)

I type from experience.

Try using a C-130 or a C-5A, he!! even a Cessna 172 if Ya want faster.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Colorado Springs? I-25 bypass?

[Albion Wilde]

Justus is a late Roman name, and it was given to many Popes some centuries ago. It also appeared in the Dutch language as “Joost” or “Jost.” It means “just” as in “fair” or “unbiased.” It is NOT dialect or a misspelling for “justice.”

Ok thanks, I stand corrected  :-)
