Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

I-69 Update: TXDOT Has An Improved I-69 Website
Posted 05-02-2019 at 07:40 PM by case44
A few days ago in Scattershooting, I alluded to a website that hadn't been keeping up much in recent months. I referred to the I-69 Texas Alliance website, but there is another website about the Texas portion of Interstate 69 that one of the Alliance members pointed me out to via e-mail. Oh, yes, I've known about that other site for years, and that one was even worse than the Alliance site in content upkeep.
Until now.
The Texas Department of Transportation has just made some improvements to its I-69 Driven By Texans website, which is not necessarily related to the Alliance site but has plenty of information about the roadway and how it is being put together as a major corridor in Texas and across the country. Projects and studies either planned or underway are also featured on the site, as well.
As for some of the things already in progress with construction, I can tell you that Interstate 169 in the Brownsville area has more pieces of the 10-mile route coming together. Half of the highway stretch will soon be completed. They're also closer to closing the gaps between El Campo and Houston, but some sections still await the development phase.
At least now, I don't have to wait for new news about I-69 roadwork when the website that's supposed to cover it finally gets to covering it as it should.
