Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: bridge street

A few weeks back I mentioned the " ever-dwindling set of small houses " on the north side of Bridge Street in Battle Creek. I counted those today, and found that three remain. One is the office for the local baseball team, the Battle Creek Bombers . One is clearly being used as a home. And this one could be a home--but I suspect it's the office for a landscape company, though it's not so labelled. Anyway, the house is at the end of the parking lot I use when I watch the Bombers play, and is mere feet from two lighted baseball diamonds. I certainly hope the folks who've lived here over the years are baseball fans.

One last look up Bridge Street, before returning to the pharmacy. The backs of those buildings ....

You'll perhaps recognize this photo as sort of an inversion of this photo , which I posted here a couple weeks back. The snow and ice are gone and the water's now running real high in the Grand. These buildings are the backsides of businesses on Kent Street. A few years back--before Portland built the riverwalk (they call it a boardwalk, which I can live with)-- these were unattractive, albeit surprisingly colorful, buildings . They're quite proud of the improvement, as they should be. "Bridge Street Bridge" is a playfully (or painfully ) recursive name. Interestingly, the bridge is labelled differently at opposite ends--from the west (north?) it's indeed Bridge Street Bridge, but from the east it's Veterans Memorial Bridge. This page calls it by both names. This page calls it Vets, while this page calls it BSB. I'm not exactly confused, but I'm perhaps a bit bemused.
