North Superior Street near Ash and other nearby streets in Toledo were closed for several hours Wednesday due to an accidental gas link break by Ohio Department of Transportation crews. Several nearby houses were also evacuated as a precaution, the city's fire department said. Four people in the neighborhood were evacuated. ODOT crews reportedly hit a gas line while working on a construction project. The break occurred at around 10:15 am in the 1800 block of North Superior. There was never any fear the area was unsafe from the gas line break.

Canción escondida de los piratas. Otra genialidad de los gallegos. ODOT = TODO Todo es una mierda que se compra con dinero, y al comprarla yo primero, soy primero en rendir cuentas. Sustituyo lo que compro con tiempo, repitiendo poco a poco jodiendo. Mil computadoras agarrotan mi cabeza la noche empieza. Métete un tirito que nos vamos a rodar... Todos lo saben, aceptan, lo saben. Todos ayudan, no aceptan ayuda. Y yo me precipito y les enseño el culo ¡Jódete tú! Suelo ser más duro, si peleo no me arrugo, contestaré a tu encuesta cuando acabe de potar ¡Jódete tú! Hay una putita que no para de gritar la noche empieza. Metete un tirito que nos vamos a follar... Todo es una mierda que se rompe poco a poco. Todo es una mierda que se rompe poco a poco.

The closing of a small section of railway in downtown Oklahoma City by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Rail company has attracted the interest of State Representative Randy Terrill. Terrill recently wrote to the federal government's Surface Transportation Board objecting to BNSF's abandonment of a rail line due to the relocation of the I-40 crosstown. The State Representative argues the abandonment will worsen the blockage of traffic by trains across South 4th and Main Streets in downtown Moore. "Clear security concerns are also raised by this plan," wrote the legislator. He cited Altus Air Force Base and Fort Sill as well as Tinker Air Force base as being at risk due to the closing of the tract. Meanwhile, El Reno Tribune editors have sided with other towns in central Oklahoma who are asking for an investigation of the relocation project by Governor Brad Henry. "The rail supporters made their case to the councils in each of the four communities (El Reno, Norman, Chickasha and Shawnee) and apparently their argument must have been convincing," stated the Tribune in a recent editorial. The editors argue that a huge amount of federal funding is being spent on the relocation of Interstate 40--thus it's being funded by taxpayers. "Cities around the nation, many similar in size to Oklahoma City and the surrounding area, have developed commuter rail service, so why shouldn't we in central Oklahkoma be talking to one another about this regional issue?'
