BRIDGEPORT RECEIVES TRAIL GRANT - The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission yesterday awarded the city of Bridgeport $20,000 towards the Bridgeport Adventure Park. The project includes renovation of 0.13 of a mile of existing trail and a new park entrance sign. Bridgeport received one of 19 grants totaling $3.38 million from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission for motorized and non-motorized recreational trail-related projects across the state.

I know I helped produce my fair share of doubt on Generation X carrying the torch, while playing Super Mario Brothers and listening to a string of one-hit wonders instead of being productive.
