Theme Day: Paths and Passages
For theme day I took a photo of this foot bridge built in 1949 that allows pedestrians to cross over a 4 lane divided highway. The interesting thing is the location of this bridge. On the far side is a residential area consisting of roughly 25 homes. On the near side there is a shopping plaza. What I'm baffled by is why the city or state would go to such expense to service a handful of people. The only reason I could think of is maybe it was built by the company Foster Grant which was near the area which is now a shopping mall. It is possible that these homes were Foster Grant employees.

It’s a beautiful bridge, made even more lovely by the snow. Such a superb choice for today’s theme.

Excellent photo and interesting background about its use for a few folks. I am sure they are glad to have it. Nice to see the snow, road, metal and shadows.

In the Uk if there was a right of way before the highway was built they’d be bound to construct access across – what amazes me is the piles of snow inside the bridge.
