You mean like the whole tax return/refund/filing thing?

No...thread/topic drift is not the same as an original Off Topic post...

This thread is actually Off Topic...it (cracked beam on Interstate bridge) really has nothing to do with rural living...

If you live in the rural Mound city area and have to get to uptown Memphis for work in the morning, it definitely has something to do with rural living.

My wife and I drove over this bridge the day before they found the crack on our way to North Carolina from Arkansas. My son in Arkansas sent me the story the day it came out and asked if I felt like buying a lotto ticket. We were also in the DC area when the gas pipeline fiasco was going on. We just returned from a 4 week 6500 mile driving trip to visit family. Someone was definitely watching over us.

Go ahead, drag the rest of us (eg: who don't work in Memphi) into that dark corner of rural reality.

Yes, the west end of the bridge gets rural real fast.

Is the dog track still there is West Memphis just into Arkansas? Never been inside but have driven past on the way to I-55 many times.

Not sure, I normally don’t stop in west Memphis, or Memphis. Sometimes do hit the welcome center there.

Yes it is still there but is a full casino now. Dog racing is being phased out, lasting another year or two

Yup, about 5 miles from the bridge. I came through their around 5pm tonight Only a 15 minute delay headed south on 55. Traffic didn't start to back up till the 40/55 split.

Now headed west looked rough at 5pm. I'm not looking forward to working tomorrow in Memphis and headed home tomorrow night during rush hour.
