End of Silence

I just got a breaking news alert from News8Austin. Traffic on I-35 is bound to suck for the next several hours. If it’s bad enough, it’ll affect downtown Austin as well as those travelling anywhere between Austin and San Antonio. All you Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, New Braunfels commuters are in for a fun afternoon. Let’s hope nobody gets hurt and they get it cleared up in time for rush hour.

Update (2006.06.12 14:02 CDT): K-EYE reports a vehicle carrying radioactive material rolled over at Exit 221 near FM 1327 in Buda. The closing is a precaution, nothing’s actually escaped or leaked or whatever the appropriate term may be.

Sadly, one of our first posts concerned the news that Ikea was considering a Round Rock location. More speculation followed once the news was official. Well, the wait is almost over, Ikea junkies.

The new Ikea location at University and I-35 is apparently ahead of schedule and will open this fall instead of the original target date of Spring 2007. So now you all you know what you’re getting for Christmas this year.
