About Crossroads and connecting

I got this email this morning from a friend up north who read my column online:

"Hey, if there were high-speed rail -- heck, I'd take a regular ol' train -- into the heart of Bradenton, I'd grab a book, pack a bag and be on my way..."

Sweet thought, and a nugget of the conversation I hope our transportation series, "Crossroads," will generate here. The series will have so many facets, and we need to hear from you.
