Rainbow Bridge (Texas)

Die Rainbow Bridge (englisch für „Regenbogenbrücke“) ist eine Gerberträgerbrücke über den Neches River im Südosten des US-Bundesstaates Texas oberhalb dessen Mündung in den Sabine Lake. Über sie führen die beiden State Highways TX 73 und TX 87 von Port Arthur im Jefferson County am Südwestufer des Flusses nach Bridge City im Orange County am Nordostufer. Der Bau der Brücke begann 1936 unter der Leitung des Texas State Highway Department. Aufgrund von Bedenken der stromaufwärts gelegenen Stadt Beaumont, dass die Brücke eine Gefahr für Schiffe darstellen könnte, wurde die Rainbow Bridge mit einer Spannweite von 210 m errichtet. Ferner hat sie eine lichte Höhe von 54 m. Somit wäre sie in der Lage gewesen, das damals höchste Schiff der United States Navy, die Patoka, unter sich passieren zu lassen, was jedoch nie geschah. Die Brücke wurde am 8. September 1938 fertiggestellt. Die nahe Stadt Prairie View benannte sich wegen der Brücke um in Bridge City („Brückenstadt“). Die Brücke hieß zunächst Port Arthur-Orange Bridge. Ihren heutigen Namen bekam sie 1957. Die Brücke wird seit 1996 im National Register of Historic Places aufgeführt. Veterans Memorial Bridge 1988 wurde mit dem Bau der benachbarten Veterans Memorial Bridge, einer Schrägseilbrücke, begonnen. Die Brücke verläuft parallel zur Rainbow Bridge. Sie hat eine lichte Höhe von 43,5 m. Nach Fertigstellung der Veterans Memorial Bridge wurde die Rainbow Bridge wegen Renovierungsarbeiten gesperrt. Seit ihrer Wiedereröffnung im Jahre 1997 ist die Rainbow Bridge nur noch in westlicher Richtung befahrbar, während der Verkehr in östlicher Richtung von der Veterans Memorial Bridge abgewickelt wird.

Rainbow Bridge & Veterans Memorial Bridge (Texas)

The Rainbow Bridge and Veterans Memorial Bridge are two bridges that cross the Neches River in Southeast Texas just upstream from Sabine Lake. It allows State Highway 87 and State Highway 73 to connect Port Arthur in Jefferson County on the southwest bank of the river. Bridge City in Orange County is on the northeast bank. History Rainbow Bridge Construction on the Rainbow bridge, a cantilever truss bridge, began in 1936. It was contracted under the guidance of the Texas State Highway Department. Due to concerns by the upstream city of Beaumont about the bridge posing a threat to ship navigation, the Rainbow Bridge was built with a 680-foot (210 m) main span. In addition, it has a vertical clearance of 177 ft (54 m), which was intended to allow what was at the time the tallest ship in the U.S. Navy, USS Patoka, passage under the bridge (however, Patoka never did). However, the height of the bridge did allow the construction of jack up offshore drilling rigs at the Bethlehem Beaumont Shipyard. With 72 rigs built, the shipyard was one of the major sources of offshore rigs built in the United States. The bridge was completed on September 8, 1938. The nearby town of Prairie View took on the name "Bridge City" in response. Initially named the Port Arthur-Orange Bridge, it received its current name in 1957. The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. After the completion of the Veterans Memorial Bridge, the Rainbow Bridge was closed for renovations. On its re-opening in 1997, the Rainbow Bridge became one way, handling westbound traffic only. In January 2014, refurbishment project started. It involved replacing pavement, repainting the ironwork, and repairing the supports. Work was complete in 2017. Veterans Memorial Bridge In 1988, construction began on the Veterans Memorial Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge. This bridge runs parallel to the Rainbow Bridge, and was dedicated on September 8, 1990. With a vertical clearance of 143 feet (44 m), the bridge is somewhat shorter than its neighbor and has 640-foot-long (200 m) main span . While it initially served both directions of traffic, the Veterans Memorial Bridge was reconfigured to serve eastbound traffic in 1997. Throughout the closure of one lane on the Rainbow Bridge, a single lane of the bridge was converted into westbound lane, with temporary delineators installed to prevent head on collisions. This ended when repairs to that bridge were completed, the previous westbound lane returned to its previous configuration.

Dragon Stadium, Southlake

Dragon Stadium is a stadium in Southlake, Texas, used primarily for American football games. The stadium serves the Carroll ISD, and is the home of the Carroll Senior High School Dragons football team. In 2003, the stadium was used by the Major League Soccer club Dallas Burn before the franchise moved to their permanent home at Toyota Stadium. The stadium was built in 2001 at a final cost between $18 and $19 million, and shares land with the Transportation Offices for Carroll ISD. The first game played there was on September 7, 2001, a football game between the Haltom Buffalos and the Southlake Carroll Dragons. Before 2003, the stadium could seat 8,000 people, but when the Dallas Burn Soccer Club terminated their lease with Carroll ISD, they left bleachers that they had assembled in the East endzone, increasing capacity to approximately 11,000 people. The endzone bleachers are home to the Carroll Dragon Band and the Emerald Belle Drill Team at home games. The two-story press box is accessed via elevator, with the second floor housing operations and coaches' booths. The first floor is for administration and scouting personnel. The playing surface is artificial and uses many draining features due to how easily the field can flood in heavy rains. In 2006, the home parking lot was doubled in size due to expected population growth. In August 2006, Carroll ISD's school board voted to hold all graduation ceremonies for Carroll Senior High at the stadium. The decision created controversy due to possible weather issues and heat concerns. In 2006, Under Armour filmed part of a popular commercial called "Click-Clack" at Dragon Stadium. One of the opening scenes shows Green Bay Packers linebacker A. J. Hawk running across the turf at Dragon Stadium. An interesting feature of the stadium is that, sitting on the north side of the stadium, it is possible to see another local high school football stadium: Mustang-Panther Stadium built in the 1970s, operated by the neighboring GCISD Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District. In June 2009, the Carroll ISD school board voted to issue bonds to pay for a $5 million renovation of the stadium. This renovation enclosed both east and west endzones. In 2020, another $4 million renovation was completed. In 2023, the Carroll Athletic Department expanded student seating from one to three sections. In June 2017, New England Patriots player Rob Gronkowski snuck into the stadium for a workout that he posted on his social media. References
Dragon Stadium

Le Dragon Stadium est un stade omnisports américain, principalement utilisé pour le football américain, situé à Southlake, dans la banlieue nord-ouest de Dallas, au Texas. Le stade, doté de 11 000 places et inauguré en 2001, sert d'enceinte à domicile pour l'équipe lycéenne de soccer du Carroll Senior High School (pour le football américain et le soccer). Histoire Ouvert en 2001 (pour un coût de construction total d'environ 15 millions de dollars), le stade est inauguré le 7 septembre 2001 lors d'une rencontre de football américain de la Carroll Senior High School contre les Buffaloes de Haltom. Avant 2003, le stade pouvait accueillir 8 000 spectateurs. La même année, le club de soccer de la MLS du Burn de Dallas s'installe au stade pour ses matchs à domicile (après avoir évolué au Cotton Bowl depuis sa fondation en 1996). Le nouveau club fait alors construire des gradins supplémentaires pour augmenter la capacité d'accueil du stade à environ 11 000 spectateurs. Lorsque le Burn de Dallas rompt son contrat avec la Carroll ISD qui détient le stade, le club laisse sur place les gradins installés dans la zone est. En 2006, le nombre de places de parking est doublé (pour atteindre le nombre de 1954), en vue de pouvoir accueillir plus de spectateurs. En août 2006, le conseil scolaire de Carroll ISD vote pour la tenue de toutes les futures cérémonies de remise des diplômes pour les diplômés du lycée au Dragon Stadium. La même année, Under Armour, marque d'habillement sportif, fait tourner une de ses publicités, appelée Click-Clack, dans le stade (une des scènes montrant le linebacker A. J. Hawk des Packers de Green Bay courir sur le terrain du Dragon Stadium). Un des caractéristiques du stade est que si l'on est assis du côté nord de la tribune, on peut apercevoir un autre stade lycéen de football américain de la ville le Mustang-Panther Stadium (construit dans les années 1970). En juin 2009, le conseil du Carroll ISD vote un plan de rénovation du stade pour la somme de 5 millions de dollars. Ces travaux font fermer les tribunes ouest et est pour un temps. Le joueur des Patriots de la Nouvelle-Angleterre Rob Gronkowski se rend au stade en juin 2017 pour un entraînement personnel qu'il poste sur ses réseaux sociaux.

Museum of South Texas History

Het Museum of South Texas History bevindt zich in de Amerikaanse plaats Edinburg. Het heeft een tentoonstelling over de geschiedenis van de Rio Grandevallei alsook de rest van Zuid-Texas. Het museum beslaat meer dan een huizenblok op een plein in Edinburg. Het werd geopend in 1970 als het "Hidalgo County Historical Museum". Oorspronkelijk was het gehuisvest in "Hidalgo County’s Old Jail", een karakteristieke gevangenis uit 1910. Sinds die tijd is het museum uitgebreid naar drie hoofdgebouwen. Bezoekers krijgen een indruk van de geschiedenis van de regio vanaf de prehistorie tot in de 21e eeuw. De collectie omvat onder andere een gigantische prehistorische Mosasauridae en een Mammoet uit de ijstijd, en via de Coahuilteken, de Spaanse koloniën, de Mexicaans-Amerikaanse Oorlog, de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog, het stoomboottijdperk naar het zogenaamde "Cattle Kingdom". In november 2007 werd de laatste toevoeging aan de tentoonstelling onthuld, "River Crossroads". Deze expositie geeft een beeld van het "Citrustijdperk," de roerige periode in het begin van de twintigste eeuw, toen de citrusteelt het leven in de Rio Grandevallei bepaalde en de Mexicaanse Revolutie uitbrak. De tentoonstelling eindigt in het heden. De "Margaret H. McAllen Memorial Archives" herbergt een grote collectie historische foto's, documenten en plattegronden van de vallei.

Martin Lake Power Plant

Martin Lake Power Plant is a 2,250-megawatt coal power plant located southwest of Tatum, Texas, in Rusk County, Texas. The plant is owned by Luminant. It began operations in 1977. The plant is also served by the Luminant owned Martin Lake Line, shuttling coal from nearby as well as the Powder River Basin in Wyoming via BNSF. History The plant consists of three units. Unit 1 was commissioned in 1977, Unit 2 in 1978, and Unit 3 in 1979. All three, when first activated, each unit had a capacity of 750 MW. Plans for a fourth, 858 MW coal unit at Martin Lake was formally cancelled in 1986. A man-made lake was created for the plant's cooling source. Martin Lake was retrofitted with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems by Fluor in 2008 to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Martin Lake receives its energy from nearby lignite mines and coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Martin Lake used to receive lignite from the Oak Hill and Beckville Mines in nearby Rusk and Panola Counties until their closures. One of Martin Lake's units was idled in September 2013 due to low electricity prices. The unit was restarted in March 2014 as electricity prices rose during the 2014 North American cold wave. Incidents In February 2017, a contractor died in an accident at the site.

Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House

The house at 1026 N. Beckley Avenue in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas was the temporary residence of Lee Harvey Oswald at the time of the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy. Oswald rented a room at this house for $8 a week, beginning October 14, 1963, under the name O.H. Lee. The building is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Texas School Book Depository, where Oswald began working on October 16. History Built in 1935, the three-bedroom home was bought by Gladys Johnson in 1943. It is now within the Lake Cliff historic district. Johnson's granddaughter, Patricia Hall, restored Oswald's bedroom and maintains the living room as it was in 1963 when Johnson's housekeeper, Earlene Roberts, was interviewed there after the assassination. Since 2009, she has opened the house for paid tours as the Oswald Rooming House Museum. Kennedy assassination Beginning October 14, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald rented a small room in the Johnson house for $8 a week. He slept there on weeknights, and went back on weekends to suburban Irving, where his wife and children were living. On the date of the assassination, November 22, Oswald returned to his room immediately after shooting President John F. Kennedy from a sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. According to housekeeper Roberts, Oswald entered the home in a "hurry", grabbed a jacket and left on foot three to four minutes later. He made no comment to Earlene when she told him about the Kennedy assassination, which was now all over the news and on TV. Shortly thereafter, Oswald was confronted by Dallas Police officer J. D. Tippit less than one mile (1.6 km) away from the house. After exchanging a few words, Oswald fatally shot Tippit; a short time later, he was arrested at the Texas Theatre.

Pensão de Lee Harvey Oswald

A casa na N. Beckley Avenue, 1026, no bairro de Oak Cliff, em Dallas, Texas, foi a residência temporária de Lee Harvey Oswald na época do assassinato do presidente dos Estados Unidos John F. Kennedy. Oswald alugou um quarto nesta casa por US$ 8 por semana, iniciando em 14 de outubro de 1963, sob o nome de O.H. Lee. A casa está localizada a aproximadamente 2 milhas (3,2 km) do Texas School Book Depository, onde Oswald começou a trabalhar em 16 de outubro. História Construída em 1935, a casa de três quartos foi comprada por Gladys Johnson em 1943. Atualmente, ela faz parte do distrito histórico de Lake Cliff. A neta de Johnson, Patricia Hall, restaurou o quarto de Oswald e mantém a sala de estar como era em 1963, quando a governanta de Johnson, Earlene Roberts, foi entrevistada lá após o assassinato. Desde 2009, ela abriu a casa para visitas pagas como o Museu da Pensão de Oswald. Assassinato de Kennedy A partir de 14 de outubro de 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald alugou um pequeno quarto na casa dos Johnson por US$ 8 por semana. Ele dormia lá durante a semana e voltava nos fins de semana para o subúrbio de Irving, onde sua esposa e filhos moravam. Na data do assassinato, 22 de novembro, Oswald retornou ao seu quarto imediatamente após atirar no presidente John F. Kennedy de uma janela do sexto andar do Texas School Book Depository. De acordo com a governanta Roberts, Oswald entrou na casa "às pressas", pegou um casaco e saiu a pé três a quatro minutos depois. Ele não fez nenhum comentário a Earlene quando ela lhe contou sobre o assassinato de Kennedy, que agora estava em todos os noticiários e na TV. Pouco depois, Oswald foi confrontado pelo policial de Dallas, J. D. Tippit, a menos de um milha (1,6 km) da casa. Depois de trocar algumas palavras, Oswald atirou fatalmente em Tippit; pouco tempo depois, ele foi preso no Texas Theatre.
