I wish they bought my house
 I really don't know if that would be good for you or not  but I do feel terrible for those who have sentimental attachment to their houses

more pic's
the cow pasture is staying, it is right outside my door across the road, we thought they were going to come all the way up to here, but will be nice to have the trees for shade. The highway will run right behind the house across the field from us. There are several places like this for miles and miles where bridges and on/off ramps have been built waiting for the final phase of the highway to connect them. It is suppose to be done by 2013.

So, the older man who owns the cow pasture doesn't have to move his cows? How sad for the people whose homes have been taken by the state! Does the state pay them fair market value at least?
It is too bad that they didn't buy your house, what with all the ex's around!!!

I am ok so far with the ex's being here, havn't given me any reason to want to move. I am looking forward to the highway getting done, the highway i use now to go to/from work is getting very crowded what with the construction trucks and semis going to/from the place they get/take their grain and right next to that is an ethonal plant and they havn't even started to harvest their fields yet. Then there is Purdue University, when school starts again it will be busy with collage kids coming and going and whenever there is a home football/basketball game it is so bad but those are usually on a Sunday. All this traffic on a 2 lane highway gets a little scary some nights coming home.

I certainly can understand why people would be upset losing their homes. That doesn't seem right, yet roads have to be built. I can just imagine how busy your road is, and you are right, a two lane road not enough to carry all the extra traffic. We have a major university here in Austin too and when there are football and basketball games the traffic is horrible.

We had Highway 400 built through here a few years ago and I knew some of the people who had to sell their home and move. They were not happy about the prices they were getting but in some cases had no choice but to accept it. The highway is wonderful though but I sure felt sorry for those who had to move. Of course, there were some people who tried to get way more than their home was worth too.
Linda, I know that you'll appreciate the highway after it's done. |
