In honor of Friday's Almanac and Derrick's comments about the character of the new 15th Avenue Bridge (or the lack of character), there is no new Almanac.
Instead, I've reached back into the vast (half-vast?) archives of Tube City Online and resurrected a 1995 piece I wrote about the 15th Avenue Bridge called "15th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Lousy)." (I was on a Simon & Garfunkel jones at the time.) In the best tradition of non-fiction essays by undergraduate English majors, it's probably as pretentious as all heck, but I didn't have time this weekend to re-write it. Also, I don't know what (if anything) I would add.
Check back there in a few days, and I should have some photos scanned in.
Yeah, your writing has progressed over ten years, but it’s still a nice ode to the old bridge.
