It has been posted (#1551) that there is landscaping going on a White Settlement Road Bridge.  I cannot recall right off hand a bridge along White Settlement Road.  It must be a new bridge, right?

Yes, the new bridge ,under construction, that connects White Settlement to the roundabout
Thanks John

#124803 Walmart redeveloping its supercenters as ‘Town Centers’

Posted by BlueMound on 27 February 2020 - 01:32 AM

Walmart is adding health centers to their superstores

Sounds like a super CareNow

Frankly, I'm in favor of anything that lowers the cost of health care.

https://www.bloomber...th-care-clinics

 $30 medical checkup or a $25 teeth cleaning

In addition to medical, dental, and eye care, the centers also provide X-rays, hearing checks, and diagnostic lab tests for things like blood glucose and lipids.

At nighttime, has anybody else noticed a gyrating, multi colored, tree shaped light display inside the top floor of this bldg ?
Perhaps this is for the top floor bar ?

I haven't kept up with federal funding of this project.  But if, as you state, out of a $526 million congressional appropriation the project has received only $68 million, it begs the question:  What happened to the other $458 million?


Trump hasn’t funded the project in his budgets.
Trump promised heavy investment in infrastructure during the 2016 election, but has funded very little of it during the last 4 years in office.

#122362 Burnett Plaza Lights

Posted by BlueMound on 12 November 2019 - 09:28 PM

Since Burnett Plaza already looks like a giant concrete billboard, why not use it as one ?
Flexible, transparent LED/LCD media facade can be retrofitted onto building exteriors.
