[edit] Thank God for I-12!

Whoever decided to build that highway really must have had a lot of foresight. Now with I-10 gone as a result of Hurricane Katrina, it will become the "de facto" I-10 for several years...at least. Long after the flood waters are finally gone. Without it, there would be years, if not decades, of traffic nightmares on secondary highways inland - and Interstate traffic would be forced all the way to I-20. It would also kill the economy. Now if only they could accelerate I-14 in case it happens again somewhere else... CrazyC83 22:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wording in Introduction

The last sentence in the introduction says, "...in order to highway the unique history of Louisiana's Florida Parishes." Should highway be replaced with highlight? I would have edited it myself, but I'm not sure if there's some meaning to the word I might be overlooking. Stratosphere 20:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

My mistake, just a small typo that should have said "highlight", thanks for pointing it out. VerruckteDan 20:38, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
