Not to mention they are one of the oldest teams in the league, with no future (they traded all of that away). Their only bright spot is Roddy B.

It makes me cringe every time I recall they used Italy as its steel source instead of America. Think of all those American jobs lost on this massive project. That's Dallas being "world class" for you though...

Well, based off the perception I get from a lot of people including my cousins husband in San Jose. We all know public transportation isn't Texas's thing. But any city having to delay or cancel construction is a bad thing for the entire state because of those who come to tour the city. We've gotten to the point where our state is attracting an influx of migrants, public transportation is a key for some migrants. That on an overall basis does affect the "state" as well.

Perceptions becoming reality.

Kennedy was shot down in Dallas, now people think the entire state is full of "redneck" assassins. When what happened to Kennedy could have just as easily happened anywhere.

Like I know I just used some complex analogies to describe what I meant by "Dallas public transportation affecting the whole state" but I think you'll understand what I meant to say.

LOL

It just shouldn't happen, not in this great country.

As a matter of fact, Tyler based Tyler Pipe is providing the steel piping for the new World Trade Center going up in NYC. This was announced a few months back. All of it made to order right here in East Texas.
