Wall divides landowners

By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe    Staff Writer        www.dentonrc.com


HICKORY CREEK — Not all of the land being cleared for the new, wider Interstate 35E is firmly in the state’s grip.
The Texas Department of Transportation bought many properties along the corridor between Interstate 635 and U.S. Highway 380 before construction began.

Trouble is, we have a very small B group. Most often, the only ones to show up for the B ride are my pal Maggie and me. So Maggie got an idea: Why not schedule a “beginner” ride for people who we know are reading the club emails on our Yahoo group, but who for whatever reason don’t come out to rid with us?
