35W Bridge Lives On In Google Street View

December 12th, 2007 by owenam

Minneapolis just got Google Street View! It appears that the images were taken this past summer, not long before the 35W bridge collapse — traffic is down to two lanes and there is a work crew resurfacing the other lanes (see for yourself). Also, I think this port-a-potty is in fact the same one seen here.

UPDATE: It looks like some of the images were taken after the collapse. That guy looks pretty pissed that his bridge fell down.

Buzza!

Oh Yeah, We Get Mortared Once In A While

“Oh yeah, we get mortared once in a while.”

That’s the latest from a Guardsman coworker deployed in Iraq. Food and laundry service are very good.

“At least it is not humid.”
