Vehicles as far as you can see in both directions.
Interstate 30 is a mess right now after at least seven crashes out there in the last hour. Two of those crashes have included multiple 18-wheeler trucks. All but one of them are on the westbound side between Stateline Avenue and the Cowhorn Creek overpass, but traffic is also backed up on the eastbound side as people are slowing down to look at what's going on the other side of the road.
We recommend that you take an alternate route for a while as DPS works to clear these vehicles out of the roadway. Otherwise, you're probably going to wind up sitting in traffic for a while.

Yesterday we told you about an opportunity to create sculptures for downtown TXK using found-objects and working with George Toblowsky to celebrate our rich culture and history.
Little did we know that call would produce such amazing ideas and finds! Our friends at Silvermoon on Broad have generously volunteered this amazing piece (a circa-1920 piano soundboard found in the ruins of a downtown building) to be used in a sculpture. It's PERFECT!
So, who can see it? What could be created?! Where does your imagination take you? Let us know if you have a vision!

COVID-19 UPDATE with Mayor Allen Brown
The largest steam locomotive in the world made a stop this morning in downtown Texarkana. It's longer than two city buses and weighs more than a Boeing 747. Union Pacific No. 4014 pulled into the train yard and was met by hundreds of people who came out to see it. Originally put into service in 1941, it hauled trains of up to 4,200 tons across the country. After 4014 was retired in 1959, it sat idle in a California railroad museum for the next six decades. It was restored over the last three years and started a tour across the southern US earlier this year. We hope you were able to come out and see it. It was truly an awesome sight. Here is a short video that gives a taste of the experience for those of you who couldn't make it. Video credit - Dawn Parker
