Your culinary gain is the planet's loss. Sure, you can drive down a Virginia highway and get Philly cheese steaks, New England clam chowder, buffalo wings and St. Louis-style ribs, but it's almost impossible to find the peanut soup the Old Dominion State was famous...
There followed one of the most amazing explosions of creativity in the history of songwriting, a three-album epiphany--Bringing It All Back Home (1965), Highway 61 Revisited (1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966)--in which cascades of surrealistic, high-art lyrics were married to the most elegant rock-'n'-roll musicianship. That was brought to a violent stop by Dylan's near fatal motorcycle crash in 1966, and when he resumed, the music--even the sound of his voice--was different...
...Within a few clicks, I determined that our current van averages 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg highway, which somehow averages out, according to the government, to 18 mpg. That's right on the cut-off for the program, but let's say they vote me in. Given our relatively light usage - around 8,000 miles per year - this translates to about 5.4 tons of CO2 emissions and 10.1 barrels of oil consumed each year. Could be worse, though in the category called "air pollution" the old van rates a pitiful 1 on a scale...
Instructive, but we're still talking about burgers. What makes the Snyders' story worth reading is that it's as much cultural history as corporate. The company evolved in perfect sync with postwar Southern California, whose car culture and highway-fed suburbs blossomed as In-N-Out was building the first drive-throughs...
...Half of the land-borne U.S.-Mexico trade comes through Laredo," says Keith R. Phillips, a senior economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Much of it heads north along Interstate Highway 35, through Austin, Dallas and on through the heartland. And it's not only the land ports along the border that are conduits for trade and travelers, Phillips points out. The Port of Houston has been one of the fastest-growing ports in the country, with a significant amount of trade from Mexico, and trade also flows into inland ports like Fort Worth's Alliance Texas Logistics...
