JDN, That's kind of like Houston was when I was moved there in January of 1942. My Grandmother owned a rooming house, on a plot, that is now only 6 blocks from the center of town. I have seen many of the small towns that were once independent, and in the country, and are now nothing but a suburb of Houston.
A little different, but I attended my 40th reunion at College Station, TX, where A&M is, and so many of my classmates were gone, and what was once a very small town, is now spread all over the river plain, and and the Brazos River, is at least 10 miles from the campus, which was on the fringe of the town. Couldn't even find my way around the campus. It was nothing like when I went to college there. My old dorm was run down in the shadow of a building that dwarfed it.
Some call that progress. I call it over breeding. |
