The East Side

Is this really a historic bridge? I'm not sure - but when was the last time you saw a footbridge that was a steel through truss?

(Yeah, I know the sky in South Milwaukee isn't really pink.)

Kinda looks like one of those old timey postcards. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Think of it more as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.

J.R., what's up with the pink? Is there a problem with your camera?
