for all of you " hate progress " people . LOL ! Alpine has a proposal to make a highway going around the great city. Instead of the BIG truck traffic going through the city limits, now reaching hundreds and soon belived to be around 500 daily, they are considering a loop around city limits. And what's more is the merchants are not really complaining about this proposal. Because of the thought that non-truck traffic will still go through the city for fuel, groceries, etc. This has come about because of te HUGE volume of 18 wheelers going and coming from Presidio, Marfa and other destinations. But I wonder what the scenario will be for businesses on that loop ? If they can put up shop on the loop even. If so...watch out for that Wal-Mart super center ! LOL !
