Oh no, now Marcus Bryant Jr. is joining.
How unpredictable.
What would be funny is if they were all the same person.J-6, MB, and maybe even Stout.
How amusing, Councilman. Got any other cheesy associations between posters to bring to the table, or are we forced to wait for the next statistical barrage about the Most Bestest City Ever?Oh no, now Marcus Bryant Jr. is joining.

You have to be Marcus. They just don't teach you how to throw out lame insults.
It's a born talent.
Oh, really? Did you pick up these gems at the Most Bestest City Ever Junior College?
Most Bestest City Ever?
Mine were semi-clever.
Yours have always been lame.
You wanna talk like a Rugrat, go ahead.
Okay, I have to admit this is psuedo-interesting. But before I read too much into those traffice numbers: how many vehicles are in San Antonio?
Last count, a little over 800,000.
The growth between West 410 and 1604 continues to amaze me. My grandparents live on I-10 right outside of the loop near Wurzbach, and I remember when that was basically the edge of town.
So, 800K vehicles and 42K vehicles per day on 1604. Assuming each a vehicle gets on 1604 an average of twice per day, thats 21K different vehicles or about 2.5% of all vehicles in San Antonio that use 1604 daily.
I guess I can believe that.
I-10 at De Zavala circa 1966.
This should help you a little better.
1990 and 2000-2004 Traffic growth for 1604:
San Antonio circa today...
PS...now the poor kiddo sees the boogeyman everywhere.
Wow, Marcus has yet to find a life.San Antonio circa today...

I'd assume he would, they're on sale at Target.
You can do it Marcus, don't be so scared of change.

See what I just did.
I'll do it again.

Wow... so San Antonio now has sprawl just like every other metro area? No doubt that's something to puff up our chests and be proud of...
Yea people cry about the economy but this really is a guilded age .. at least here. Look at the decadence in these high end houses. It's like a little roaring 20's Mansion building spree...
One thing I am happy about. Is Toyota is now steering more development out towards the Bandera to south of highway 90 area. Litte more west than north.
I guess you didn't get the sarcasm layered over that post.
Well, typically sarcasm involves saying one thing when the opposite is obviously true.
Since this is the internet and nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, vocal intonations, or gestures cannot be used, very subtle sarcasm is much more difficult to catch. Effective sarcasm when only typed words are available almost has to be "over-the-top," even silly, to be understood.
So, for example, if you were posting pictures of buildings or graphs with traffic counts, and in a particular post you did so with bittersweet thoughts about the effects of sprawl, unless those thoughts are explicitly communicated at some point, neurologically ordinary people will not comprehend your attempts at sarcasm.
What you lack to some degree is something called a "theory of mind." The gist behind that is that other people do not have access to all the same information you do, especially about things like your own mental state, and therefore can have false beliefs about things where you know the truth. In this case, most people would expect that any of your posts about buildings, highways, or development would spring from your usual enthusiasm about those subjects, even if you were not particularly enthusiastic about a specific detail, such as traffic congestion or sprawl.
Remember that while people may tease you endlessly about your difficulty communicating in social situations, you still probably will end up being a very good civil engineer, architect, or urban planner some day, provided you can work alone mostly.
I hope I have been of some help to you.

1604 traffic is insane coming from I 10 at 5 to get to nw vista....i ing hate it and i hope that road dies soon
You can thank the developers for much of the traffic problems. Each subdivision is its own enclave, and the only way to travel to and fro is on a major thruway. It gets worse and worse as you go north in San Antonio, and 1604 is about the only way to get from one place to another that far north. Name any other way that goes west-east. The Wurzbach parkway is nice so far, but 10 miles out of the way.
You can also thank the developers for trying their best to build in the recharge zone and sooner or later, adversely affect the aquifer.
Yep. Those developers are gonna SA up.
Can someone get me a count on the number of 'churches' with big ass billboards on 1604? I can think of at least 3.
Hagee's fortress is such an eyesore.
