(unique, though). 459 ends at 59 (or 59/20) on both ends.. the N.B. will do the same,...

Quote: The South now rivals the West in population growth during the first decade of the 21st century, but among Southern states, Alabama lags. The population of the South region increased 13.1 percent from April 1, 2000, to July 1, 2009, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Wednesday. The West region's population increased 13.2 percent, the Northeast just 3.2 percent and the Midwest 3.8 percent. The United States as a...

Like I said, I don't agree with the numbers either, but I don't know his source. For all I know, it may have been a simple slip of the tongue. However, it sure would get interesting around here with the traffic. Regards, Colin

About the Van Antwerp building situation, something BETTER be done FAST! It's such an important piece of Mobile's architectural history. As for the Auburn University's landscape architecture class's proposal to create vertical soil plots, that's not really a practical endeavor. That sounds costly and requires too much maintenance for a public location. Trellises with vines are much cheaper and easier to maintain and...

It will do little to relieve traffic bound for Atlanta from Memphis or vice versa, since there's still no true direct route. Traffic through downtown will still have to deal with the junction and traffic taking the northern bypass will have to go southwest on 59 and catch 459 south to 20 east. Extending the northeast segment to meet I-20 should be in the plans. That or bridging the gap between 65 and the 20/59 split. The latter seems...

The owner is stressing to the city to help with renovating the building. http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/...Q.cspx?rss=217 I got a good look at...
