COMMENT OF THE DAY: LOST TOMB OF THE GRAND PARKWAY “The bulldozed-over ones will make for some serious headscratching in the 23rd century when they are dug up and ‘discovered.’ Maybe the Asiatic Proconsul will use it as propaganda/proof [that] Global Manifest Destiny was already in the making in the early 21st century.” [SL, commenting on The 6,000 Garden Gnomes of Emperor Qin: Let the Great Houston Grave Ransacking Begin]
I like how people are unable to read. The Grand Parkway will touch NONE of the Forbidden Gardens site. The owner is selling because it’s a money pit and his land which abuts the parkway is prime commercial land.
Uh, didn’t it say Harris County was attempting to acquire some of the land? I don’t believe the OP said a damn thing about the Grand Parkway.
SL: The Asiatic Proconsul will also find vaults full of North American property deeds from the early 21st century as further evidence that manifest destiny was already well under way.
kilray,
You can take the minute effort to just look at GoogleMaps or even the Grand Parkway website. You’ll see that the Forbidden Gardens will be completely untouched. A large undeveloped tract to the east of the Forbidden Gardens (owned by the same person) will have a tiny sliver taken from a corner of it.
kjb434: I believe you and actually don’t really care. I will endeavor to stay very far away from said Parkway. Hint: You won’t find my point on GoogleMaps.
