That day, there was nothing major going on,

... I longed to leave that place every day.

Members of P&Z went over this and there were residents at the P&Z meeting. There have been noise studies done. They have been giving this a lot of planning. With the fence and trees, the studies said there would probably be less noise from the center than there is now - from the highway.

You guys have an awesome job. I don't envy you but I admire your taking it on. The city is very interested in cooperating. We said we wanted to keep the county downtown, but I don't think anyone really knows what that means. We have a 100-year history with the county downtown. It's not so much of an economic thing. But my mind has no grasp of what we're talking about. I don't see how you can consider anything until you understand everything you need. It's frustrating to talk about this until we know how much we need.

We had three good presentations. We couldn't go wrong with any of them - but we had to choose one.

I know the big crash is coming one of these days,
