Do you live near a building built as part of the New Deal? There is a map for that.

Re: Do you live near a building built as part of the New Deal? There is a map for tha

I attended 2 schools that were primarily build at New Deal projects, and they are still in use today.

I also noticed a lot of things missing from the list. There is only a single blurb on Fort Bliss, yet a lot of the structures from the old theatre and many office buildings still in use having been New Deal structures.

Myself, the best 2 parts of the New Deal were the WPA and CCC. Both provided not only huge amounts of jobs, but created huge amounts of infrastructure which were needed. I wish we would return to such projects, instead of the current system of simply throwing money at the problems.

More like Congress throws money at their friends.

In San Antonio the River Walk was constructed with New Deal funds, it stopped the river from flooding the city center. On that same river sits the old city library, now the Brisco Museum, typical art deco design, built with the same funds.
