The Silver Bridge

In Mill Creek Park, Youngstown, Ohio

This was built in 1895 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

1. Interesting for many reasons but I really like the suspension.

It appears to be a series of linked pieces in alternating sections of 3 and 4.

7. Yes, it is.

Some folks refer to it as the Cinderella Bridge. Couples have actually chosen it for their outdoor wedding sight. (although you’d have to get permission from the park to temporarily close the road for such a thing).

4. Absolutely wonderful, my dear Diamond_Dog! It does look like something out of a fairy tale.

I can almost see it going up and down the way a draw bridge would.

10. It is indeed unique.

Being in the middle of the wooded park, it’s in a beautiful setting, and people sometimes get married on it!

5. I can't help wondering what the people who built that

would think of the quality of the people they are sending to Congress these days (always excepting Shaerrod Brown, and I'm sure there are others) and trying to send to the White House.

8. Back when pride of craftsmanship and pride in one's community prevailed.

Alas, they would not think much of the quality of lawmakers we have here today.

11. I suspected as much.
