May 16th: “Street Signs”

I was in Brockport today for an appointment and had lunch (well, it was lunch time, but I actually had eggs and bacon, so was it lunch or breakfast???) at the Brockport Diner. The Main St canal bridge is closed for repairs/restoration, so one of the possible detours takes us over this high, one lane bridge with sharp curves on each side…..so, there is a signal light to aid traffic and a LOT of signs for various things – no parking, restriction of trucks, announcing the sharp curve and the signal light and the one-lane bridge – among other information! As I approached, I instantly decided to pull over and get this shot for today’s topic!

I hope they leave the signal light there — it makes it so much easier to cross this particular bridge — the curves on either side make it very difficult to see on-coming traffic over a one-lane bridge! During the mid-70’s to mid-80’s I lived in Brockport and crossed this bridge from time to time and it always made me nervous – there was no signal light back then!

I love the look of the building on the right side of the photo! So eclectic and “old English” looking! The ivy covering extends this way far beyond what is shown in the photo. Also – on the left side of the street out of view of this photo, is a tired old building that used to be a very popular nightclub called “The High Bridge” — I admit to spending my share of time in there!

Aside from all the power lines and poles, I really love this photo for a variety of reasons!
