Texas State Highway 210

State Highway 210 (SH 210) is a proposed state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that runs from I-610 on the western side of Houston to downtown near Union Station. This appears to be the route that the proposed Harrisburg Freeway was going to take. Due to opposition, that freeway project was cancelled.


Famous quotes containing the words texas, state and/or highway:

    During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.”
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The classicist, and the naturalist who has much in common with him, refuse to see in the highest works of art anything but the exercise of judgement, sensibility, and skill. The romanticist cannot be satisfied with such a normal standard; for him art is essentially irrational—an experience beyond normality, sometimes destructive of normality, and at the very least evocative of that state of wonder which is the state of mind induced by the immediately inexplicable.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    The highway leads to Heaven, but each finds his own way.
    Chinese proverb.
