nspiration or ‘publicity stunt’? Charlie Kirk Memorial Parkway coming to North Texas ... and more news

A two-mile stretch of roadway in North Texas will soon be known as Charlie Kirk Memorial Parkway in honor of the late conservative activist. Commissioners in Hood County issued a proclamation Tuesday to dedicate Williamson Road, just south of Granbury, for Kirk. In other news, It’s goodbye to Rye in Dallas, the Greenville Avenue restaurant featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives last year. Rye is expected to close March 7; North Texas drivers can expect closures, detours and heavy traffic delays on Interstate 30 in downtown Dallas this weekend due to planned construction activity by the Texas Department of Transportation. According to TxDOT, all lanes of east- and westbound I-30 will be closed between the I-35E and I-45/U.S. 75 interchanges as part of the ongoing I-30 Canyon corridor improvement project; and a 52-story tower in downtown Dallas called The National is headed to foreclosure. The restaurants within The National will remain open. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
