more observations
Interstate 95 doesn't have much in the way of frontage roads (access roads, service roads). In Texas, on IH-35, one could travel next to the highway, on the frontage road, through most of the state, except a few places where there's rivers and such.
Of course, for "alternate route" I95 has always had Route 1. A lot of people, especially in the west, would think "Route 66" if one asked them what the all-American road was. But people on the east coast have always known it's Route 1. Since I lived in Boston and learned to drive there, I always tend to think of it as the Boston Post Road, even in places where it's named something else.
There are a lot fewer Jesus fish on cars here. And although there's those "God Bless America" and "God Bless Our Troops" ribbon stickers, I have, thankfully, seen none of the bumper stickers in the way of "Jesus is Lord Over Austin" and the like.
The appointment of a new conductor for the symphony orchestra rated the front page of the daily paper.
The Howard County library system rocks!

Actually, right now, I think Lance is Lord Over Austin.
