I was down that way early this morning, but unfortunately, there was a little too much traffic for me to jump the curb and take a look for myself.

You sure do get around early in the morning, Scoop. :shock:

I saw an exhibit by an artist in which all of his work was made from pieces that fell off that bridge. Everything was blue, and coroded. :what_is_:

It was supposed to be done by now.

Anytime I hear a 9/11 excuse I roll my eyes and think "Just tell us the REAL reason now." No parking on the bridge - 9/11. Close off Chestnut Street - 9/11. Airline industry going down - 9/11. Economy down the tubes - 9/11.

I was trying to find my favorite stripper, hoping she would be doing a workday morning show at the launch ramp for the Ducks. No such luck, though.

Was it good stuff, or a statement about the bridge and its condition?

No talking against the government or you are not a "patriot" - 9/11. No farting within 100 yards of the White House - 9/11. No pocket knives on airplanes - 9/11. No Bic lighters on airplanes - 9/11. No one named "Jack," who may be greeted by others - Munich Olympic attacks.

Don't get me started. I am so much of an anti-Patriot according to the definitions afforded by the "Patriot" Act of 2001 that it is pathetic. In fact, I go out of my way to help "authorities" understand that point.

I don't know if the walkway is closed during the winter,
the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia usually sends out a note when they shut it down.

Because of the construction, the DRPA has been keeping alternate sides open, so if one walkway is closed, check to see if the other is open...

My first thought reading the title of this thread was something along the lines of "People actually *live* in Delaware? And they aren't just white people?!"

I know an interracial couple down there, if that counts.
