The asphalt that was formerly Greenleaf’s two tennis courts became a pile of rubble. The space will be improved with new recreational options.

BY TOM PARKER

Though each option had its own merits, the real question was whether anyone ever played tennis in the tennis courts. In short, the answer was no.

Submitted by Edgar on Thu, 10/16/2014 - 10:11am

Functional, adequate, no-frills, in combinations of rust and shiny chrome. From a longhorn’s perspective as it saunters from a stock trailer to a corridor that will take it to an industrial-strength hybrid squeeze chute contraption—a longhorn’s version of a full-body mammogram machine—the stock pens and chutes are ridiculously, insanely, insultingly inadequate.
