Trying to imagine the traffic nightmare with IH35 looking pretty much the way it does now and still no viable rail (including subway through downtown and campus) in place. Atlanta at least had a serious highway system and heavy rail through town, not to mention the world's busiest airport. We might be ready for an Olympics about the same time T. Stacey builds a skyscraper downtown. Olympics are for "World Class" cities.
