Where Oh Where Will the Big Boxes Be?

RECEIVED Tue., Dec. 23, 2003

Dear Austin Chronicle folks,
   It's hard enough trying to keep up with what is going on in Austin just by reading the Chronicle, and that other paper, online. But it is made even more difficult when it takes as much as eight minutes for a Web page to open! Such is the world in places like Kyrgyzstan, which is long on mountainous beauty, but narrow on bandwidth. So my two quick questions are: What congressional district will all those "big boxes" be in? And, is Alejandro OK?
Happy Holidays to you all,
Jim Ellinger
Osh, Kyrgyzstan
   [Editor's response: The big boxes mostly under discussion at City Council would likely be in Lamar Smith's district after redistricting.]
