Overview Looking East

The alley runs parallel to Front Street, which in turn, is parallel to the Mississippi River. The stream carries spring thaw from the bluff to the river.

Description 

I discovered this delightful little bridge in Cassville when I was shooting a landmark building. It appears to be rare, a 2-panel, riveted, Pratt pony truss. (With a tip o' the cap to Jason Smith on this one.)
