I think I remember reading about Orange, Texas lobbying to get I-10 through it. Can't find it right now though. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 16:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Here's something - "Planners in Washington thought it would cost less to build by bringing it into Texas at Deweyville, about 20 miles north of Orange. As in many other cities, however, community leaders actually wanted the Interstate. Byron Simmons was most instrumental in having the plan changed to bring 10 to Orange. Hence, the name of the street. Drive down Simmons Dr some day, as it is marked as Business 90. See what happened to Orange when one day in about 1963 the traffic stopped coming." Maybe I can find more from that. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 19:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know who keeps doing it, but the 'p' in Laplace is not capitalized. If you don't believe it, check the maps, local newscasts or better yet, go visit the place. --Bdj95 16:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
