A
As this map, which appeared in a recent issue of the
American-Statesman, makes clear, folks in this part of town
will have reason to be particularly appreciative of the
exquisite illogicality -- except to Tom DeLay and his pals --
of the newly-proposed Texas congressional districts that are
now before the courts. Just think, neighbors -- if the
redistricting effort succeeds, you'll be able to grab a
sandwich at Avenue B Grocery, cash a check at Bank of America,
and head over to Central Market for a latte, and you'll have
visited three different congressional districts. Is this a
great country, state, city and neighborhood, or what??
Thanks, Tom!!
n the last three decades of the 20th century Hyde Park resident
(and first president of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association)
Merle G. Franke had a total of eight books published. Since we
are now in another decade, he felt it was once again time to
produce. This time two new books came out in early December.
