This view no longer exists. From what I can tell, the twin suspension bridges were demolished after a new set of twin bridges, modern through-arch spans, were completed in 2021. Here's what they look like. That photo is from Wikipedia and was taken before the old bridges were demolished.
The party yesterday was nice, as was the weather. We stayed through lunch and into the evening. It was mostly a family affair with many familiar faces, But we, as neighbors who don't see them all that often, had a hard time remembering names. I felt like an outsider looking in. We were introduced to a lot of people we didn't know (and some that we did!) many of whom we're not likely to see again. After all, it was a 90th birthday party. It's a big family (the guest of honor is the oldest of eight children), and all the generations were well represented.
Sounds like a nice celebration, if a bit awkward at times. I do like the new bridge. We were married in Sioux City, Iowa, in park alongside the Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteOh, that new bridge looks nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you two had a good gathering to attend, after learning such sad news, yesterday.
