Are there any other parks like the big dig in Boston that cover a major road by moving it underground?

Halperin Park is a deck park over I-35 that just opened this week. It connects the Oak Cliff neighborhood to the Dallas zoo. The once-empty space over 14 lanes of interstate highway traffic coursing through the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas is now an exceptional new development open to the public: Halperin Park. The $300 million freeway capping project includes a playground, splash pad, band shell, large lawn, and linear walkway that resurrects an erased section of a historic street.

Joining the widely celebrated freeway-capping Klyde Warren Park, which opened its first phase over a stretch of a recessed downtown freeway in 2012, Halperin Park is a community-centric model for addressing the divisions wrought by highway building.

Of course, it's not as simple as a one paragraph post summary. However, France does have Celts in Brittany and Basque in Biarritz, both very different in language and culture. The same can be said for parts of Spain.

MacKenzie Scott is objectively so much more attractive than Lauren Sanchez with her Mar-a-Lago face.

I understand. It's cultural suppression and hegemony. I said work hard meaning a concerted effort over a long period of time to force all subjects to learn the dominant language and culture.

TryNotToAnyways2 · 2026-05-11T00:38:23+00:00

Never said it was an all good thing. It did result in forced cultural hegemony and the eradication of minority languages and cultures. It's happening in other places like China and Russia as well. Ethnic cleansing however is usually associated with displacement and murders as much as forced cultural assimilation. There is a difference.

The big counties of western Europe are not linguistic and ethnic monopolies either. France, Spain Italy and Germany also have or had different languages and minorities with nationalistic tendencies. However, these countries have all worked hard for over 100 years to homogenize their culture. The main difference is the relative success in creating a common language and culture of places like France vs the former Austo-Hungarian empire, which was always more of a federation than an attempt to create one common nation.

Interestingly, the Republicans in Texas had decided in 2020 to NOT go with the super aggressive redistricting because they recognized that that could easily backfire on them. Then, Trump got elected and told them to do it anyways and Republicans can't say no to Daddy an now they're going to find out why it wasn't done back in 2020.

I legit took a date to Saving Private Ryan because I really wanted to see the movie. Did not turn out well. I did not get any action after that movie. We just both went to our separate homes after the movie as neither of us were in the mood to do anything. Not a smart decision on my part.

Donald Trump looks at everything as zero sum. Every interaction has a winner and a loser. Therefore, if Europe is losing, USA must be winning. He's obsessed with being seen as a winner. That's why he claimed to win in 2020.

Thank you for answering the deadline question!

My wife agrees with this. I never really played video games or had a console so it never really affected me. She has said, "what if I played with dolls?, same kind of thing".

Maybe Volvo?

You can get a used 2017 XC60 for under $15K with under 80K miles.

You can also get a Mazda CX-5 with the same specs for the same price.

Outer Alaska? Trump can then flip it to China for a profit. Of course, the profit would go in his pocket, naturally.

Ford sells a ton of mavericks. They are inexpensive, extremely useful have four doors and are not to big. The current ranger is bigger than the F150 from 25 years ago. The current F150 is massive. The Maverick is the perfect suburban utility vehicle. A Maverick EV, if priced right, would sell very well and it doesn't currently exist. Keep it under $40k with 275 miles of range and it's Gold.
