Also, who wants roads as wide as Houstons? I think it's ugly to have a huge concrete river dividing up areas of a city. I like what Dallas is doing with their roads.
What is Dallas doing that is any different? Seems like many freeways are being expanded, as well as new ones (well, tollways really) are being newly constructed.

Damn, that looks good!


I'm confused about one thing, though. What city is that in the background? Dallas? Houston? Did they relocate TCU? It doesn't look like Fort Worth.

It's a rendering, so who knows what city that is in the background....?

Only difference, U of H's rebuilt Robertson is still on the drawing board (or should I say, computer boards), while TCU is actually getting something done.

I can't wait til they start on the east side. Should be right on the street, too.

Yeah, Robertson only has $51M out of the $85M it needs to get started on construction.

University of Houston. Houston.

Or did I miss the sarcasm?

Oh, lol...I should take a reading comprehension class -- or not get on the internet in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. I thought that was another in the series of renderings of TCU.

My bad!!
