That reminds me in my home town Deposit New York there's a sign for pointing where Binghamton is, back than the route to Binghamton went thru Deposit than they made the State Route 17 but they never took that sign down and this isn't like 20 years ago, no Route 17 was made in the late 50's to early 60's so we have a sign from the 50's still hanging on a lamp post.
i live in a major cuty in texas and all the suburbs were built around the interstates and highways most of our highways are elevated and spaced between.we still get heavy traffic but we have hov lanes open in the morning and afternoon for those heading to or from downtown. basically there wasn't much city until the highways came
Texas has a different problem then most areas in the UK. The United States public transport is horrible compared to the EU not the just UK. Texas consist of 2 main public transportation methods between citys, Bus and Plane. Buses are slow and hold very few people plus Texas was a farming state so there is very little infrastructure. Planes are expensive or delayed due to weather and have limited areas they can go. A little suburb is extremely unlikely to have a airport and at most a single bus stop. Now Texas dose have trains but this video will explain the problem with them. Also Texas has no room to complain about traffic jams because of there 24+ lane highways. http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/k...-or-embarrassment-Katy-Freeway-at-6261429.php. If Texas could wake up and invest in a high speed rail line and commuter rail line most of the traffic problems will be solved. Most of Texan city's are based on a grid pattern while most of EU and UK citys are too old to have that for the worst traffic parts of their city's. What that means is that Texas mostly does not have 6 different roads and intersections within 300 feet together. Part of London: Texas: To put everything short. The UK (expectantly London) have small old roads but have a super good public transportation while most of the USA has the complete opposite, large roads, good road network but little to no public transportation.
Eh, I’d beg to differ. There’s a bus depot probably 2 or 3 miles from my house, and there’s a bus stop at the end of my street. I live on a residential street. It may be true that public transports sucks in some places, but I think it’s a bit unfair to say that almost all or most of the United States has crappy public transportation.
What I'm trying to say is this. Public transportation compared to most of Europe is sub-par in most places. There are some places in Europe that are in the middle of nowhere and still have a bus stop. The United States is trying to catch up to most of Europe but is still lagging behind because of the massive cost and the slight possibly that they can't support themselves once built. I live in the northeast corridor of the United states and compared to most of the country we have the most intact transportation system and it's still sub-par.
In London or on the outskirts of London I noticed some interesting cars: The other day I saw a Lancer Mk4. completely stock from the outside. Also an imported early 2000's 3 series as the plate started with X*** ***.
Is London Calling by The Clash kinda like a Born In The USA like thing where you can't understand a thing they're saying except the main chorus?
Heck, I listen to an 80s station all the time and they play Born in the USA all the time, and I know “rifle in my hands”, “don’t you understand”, and “kill the yellow man”. Those are pretty much the only lyrics I can understand other than “born in the USA”
