houston Houston was originally a regular two-lane street but was widened in 1940 as a means of funneling traffic west from the East River Drive (later Franklin Delano Roosevelt Drive), which was opened in sections beginning in 1934. IRST of all, we'll get Houston Street's derivation, and its unusual pronunciation, out of the way: The street from the Hudson River to Bedford had acquired its name by 1803, when Texas general, senator and governor Sam Houston (1793-1863) was ten years old. The title formerly belonged to Fulton Street, but the section west of Church Street was eliminated in the early 1970s to make way for the original World Trade Center; Fulton is scheduled to resume its course to the Hudson River if anything ever gets built at the present Ground Zero. www.forgotten-ny.com /STREET%20SCENES/houston/houston.html   (1663 words)

7 May 2000: Grand Coulee Dam and 48°N 119°W Between Wilbur and Grand Coulee there was a combination of desert and farms which (I am guessing) are sustained in the desert by water from Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake, the resevoir which was created by the Grand Coulee Dam. As it turned out, we did not actually have to drive through Coulee Dam at all I realized this when we got to Elmer City and were at 48°N but were quite a bit east of the confluence point. I was ready to get out of town for a while and decided to drive up to Grand Coulee Dam and the confluence point at 48°N 119°W which was only a few miles away. www.nawwal.org /~mrgoff/photojournal/2000/sum/7may00.html   (728 words)
