I guess thats why all the sections near the river have more brownstones. Interesting article!

As embarassed as I was to misidentify one of my favorite Gowanus landmarks, I was pleased to discover how knowledgeable my readers are.<br /><br />Another one of my favorite draw bridges is in Providence, Rhode Island. http://flickr.com/photos/sonjashield/170144114/ The 'Red Bridge' over the Seekonk River has been permanently locked in the up position since the 60s -- a bizarre landmark.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797874900158390843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832731735778985340.post-82785945036291753422006-10-05T14:07:00.000-04:002006-10-05T14:07:00.000-04:00I'm anonymous 10/4/2006, 2:40 PM.

The Third Street Bridge is, according to NYDOT, a double-leaf Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge, or a drawbridge that rolls on a track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
