The Trans Texas Corridor is a super highway to be built across the state of Texas. The maps have already been drawn and the highway will be passing straight through my family's home. It's a 10 lane highway a mile wide. My dad wrote a song about it and an independent documentary team is using it on their film. The footage is of my home.
