If anyone is wondering why the Texas Eagle is often late, this Goliath slowly moseyed through Dallas’ Union Station for at least 15 minutes.

Freight is an essential way to move goods, but I sure wish we could had more passing track along freight lines shared by passenger rail.

Embarrassing. It’s a sign of the times we endure.

A guide to local station ownership in Austin.

Nexstar: NBC KXAN-TV, MyNetworkTV KBVO-CD, and operates KNVA (The CW). They’re taking over Tegna, which owns KVUE (ABC).

Sinclair: KEYE-TV (CBS). Fox Television Stations owns KTBC-TV (Fox).

KLRU Austin PBS: locally owned by old hippies and millennials

Today I’m live from Klyde Warren park as the Austin City Council is poised to vote on caps of our own over 35.

Biggest difference I can tell is that Klyde Warren has some parallel parking to slow street traffic.

All Austin municipal courses use reclaimed water

I can’t attest to Houston but I’ve found Dallas is excellent

Glad I’m not the only one

Want cars to slow down on your street? Support this bill. | Opinion Houston must conduct expensive traffic studies just to set the speed limit at 20 mph on neighborhood streets. HB 5253 / SB 2725 would cut the red tape.

What kind of city do you want to create? A city where you can get from A to B as comfortably and efficiently as possible on four wheels? Or a city where children and teenagers can experience freedom and independence?

Could be a great tool to identify where to prioritize infrastructure investment.

That’s the Texas Longhorns band finally receiving their due

Athens’s New Answer to a Water Supply Crunch: An Ancient Aqueduct (Gift Article) Hadrian’s Aqueduct supplied water to Greece’s capital for centuries but was then largely abandoned. It’s being revived to ease water scarcity amid global warming.

Beautiful to see this ancient aqueduct return to life. Makes me wonder how we can better use and protect Austin’s natural resources for future generations.
