3.30.10 – Bridge on a Wire

My favorite bridge is about to close for seven months for repairs and painting. It’s the closest bridge to me, which makes it even more annoying. Often I pretend it’s actually the Brooklyn Bridge (it was designed by the same engineer and looks very similar) and that I’m crossing into Manhattan instead of Cincinnati. It also has that lovely sound as you cross, which made a friend nickname it the “whistling bridge.”

Of course I am enjoying seeing more and more ropes and wires go across it, making me feel I’m part of the circus each time I cross for the next week…until it closes.
