I noticed this weekend that there was some building going on off of I-10 and Taylor street. Some of the warehouses and factories there had been knocked down and cleared and a new shopping center was going in. So I did some research and it seems that they are building a new Target as an anchor to a shopping center right there, not far from downtown. Impressive. When I read the article, I found this:

Concerns were voiced with increased traffic through the Woodland Heights neighborhood. Helen reported that the retailers control their vendor truck routes. Further, traffic studies predict that 75% of the traffic will come from South, East and West of I-10. 25% will come from the area north of I-10. Therefore, there should be no traffic impact on our neighborhood.

No kidding. Three quarters of the traffic will come from three sides and the other quarter will come from the other side. Really? That study must have cost a lot of money!

UPDATE: Here's a plan of the development if you are interested. This is a major change for that area that has been so industrial for a long time and a big gamble for the developer. I think I played cards at a house on Shearn street once... nice house, but not a nice neighborhood. At least for now.

Did you play on a coffee table and was Jayson Baird there and did he bluff on every other hand and was it dealers choice and did they play iron cross?

If so, yes, you played poker on Shearn.

Yeah that's right. Right next to the freeway! You must have been there too! And there's this guy, named "Hugh" but he goes by "Huge" (that's funny) and this other guy named "Ryan" but I thought he was named "Ron" and everyone kept laughing when I called him that. And Jayson's brother even showed up one time. That's the place!

His name is Ryan, but everyone calls him Ron. We were laughing at something else.
