Historical collapse..1874 iron bridge "10th Avenue" washed away.

An historical relic and marker of time on Minneapolis's river of history. The final evidence of the 10th avenue pedestrian bridge, has undergone the tipping point. Where there was an unofficial monumental reminder, now there is the after sight..
Ever so slowly letting the waters take it. Defying gravity, suspending your disbelief! The iconic, last, 10th avenue pier, has finally crumbled into the river.

Recently seen from satellite, it still had enough of a stature to cast a shadow.

Arrests at OccupyMN Minneapolis. OWS

Over a dozen occupy Minnesota movement representatives chose to be arrested rather then leave the bridge, giving the police an opportunity to practice mass arrest strategies.
Again, FULL RESPECTS to the people, but there would have been no shame in leaving to avoid arrest. I want them to know that. Peace and love to those in jail right now. I know that's more suffering then I would have chosen to go through. But, it's larger then any one person.. Just STAY FREE people! It's a bummer to see you get taken away..

The video ninjas did an excellent job. The peoples movement is unending, never to be defeated. We're all in this together.

Central Avenue Bridge in Google Earth, Preview!

Another completely wonderful work from artist Beryl Reid has been created. The 3rd avenue (Central ave, if you're from Northeast) bridge will soon be in Google Earths 3d buildings layer. But if you can't wait for Google to review it, you can load it manually from 3d warehouse.
