The wedding of Pais Raynor and Andy Helfrich was held at the Raynor’s Bridgeview home in Bristol, Indiana on the bluff above the St. Joe River on Saturday afternoon, July 23, 2016. Before the wedding, Pais and her Bridal Party and Andy’s Groomsmen prepared for the occasion in separate places: Pais and her attendants in the main house, and Andy and his Groomsmen in the Studio outside. In the ceremony, it was recalled that Pais and Andy first met at a preview for a Harry Potter Premiere in 2011 in South Bend, Indiana. The first thing that Andy said to Pais was: “Hi, do you always dress like that?” Pais was wearing a complete Harry Potter costume with wand and hat. That lit the spark that led to their relationship. When Andy’s job transferred him to Florida, Pais joined him where she became the Production Coordinator at St Petersburg City Theatre. They decided to hold their wedding up north among friends and family there. As a special touch on the day where the heat index was to reach 100+, the guests were offered a lovely palm wedding fan, complete with an attached program of the Wedding Party.

This has been abandoned for around 10 years and is slowly crumbling. It's a huge parcel of land begging for redevelopment! A Blight on the area, many nearby businesses are suffering, many are closing.

The lobby of the Bridgeview Bank. I can't decide which I like better, the color or black and white? What do you think? There's a "softness" to edges in black and white HDR photos that I don't like, but I really like the highlights. On the other hand, I like the subtle colors in the color version.

(View of the Pattullo Bridge and New Westminster Rail Bridge from Brownsville Bar Park in Surrey)
The PATTULLO BRIDGE is a through arch bridge that crosses the Fraser River and links the city of New Westminster, to the city of Surrey in British Columbia. The bridge was named in honour of Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, the 22nd Premier of British Columbia.
A key link between Surrey and the rest of Greater Vancouver, the Pattullo bridge handles an average of 75,700 cars and 3840 trucks daily, or roughly 20 percent of vehicle traffic across the Fraser River as of 2013
The NEW WESTMINSTER BRIDGE (also known as the New Westminster Rail Bridge (NSRW or the Fraser River Swing Bridge) crosses the Fraser River and connects New Westminster with Surrey, British Columbia, in Canada.
The New Westminster Bridge was constructed in 1904 and was originally built with two decks.
The lower deck was used for rail traffic, and the upper deck was used for automobile traffic. With the opening of the Pattullo Bridge in 1937, the upper deck was removed and the bridge was converted exclusively for rail use.
The toll for the upper bridge was 25 cents and created quite an uproar for farmers who found out quickly that by taking their livestock across on foot would cost them a quarter a head but if they put them in a truck it cost a quarter for the whole load.
The bridge was the preferred method of transport across the Fraser until the Pattullo Bridge opened in 1937. Prior to that to cross that part of the river meant using the K De K ferry which would dock at the present day Brownsville location which is part of the Bridgeview neighbourhood of Surrey.
The bridge is owned by the Government of Canada, operated and maintained by the Canadian National Railway, with the Southern Railway of British Columbia (SRYBC), Canadian Pacific Railway, and BNSF Railway having track usage rights.

John Guidish was an intrepid businessman in the southern Chicago suburbs. His favorite business - this gas station, purchased in 1937. It's been sold several times since the late 1990's, never as a service station. The various businesses included an ice cream parlor.
These style service stations were found all over the country, where the owner or manager lived upstairs. This one is on Harlem Avenue at 75th street in Bridgeview, IL.

Raynor and Helfrich Wedding Held at Bridgeview Sat. July 24, 2016.
The wedding of Pais Raynor and Andy Helfrich was held at the Raynor’s Bridgeview home in Bristol, Indiana on the bluff above the St. Joe River on Saturday afternoon, July 23, 2016. Before the wedding, Pais and her Bridal Party and Andy’s Groomsmen prepared for the occasion in separate places: Pais and her attendants in the main house, and Andy and his Groomsmen in the Studio outside. In the ceremony, it was recalled that Pais and Andy first met at a preview for a Harry Potter Premiere in 2011 in South Bend, Indiana. The first thing that Andy said to Pais was: “Hi, do you always dress like that?” Pais was wearing a complete Harry Potter costume with wand and hat. That lit the spark that led to their relationship. When Andy’s job transferred him to Florida, Pais joined him where she became the Production Coordinator at St Petersburg City Theatre. They decided to hold their wedding up north among friends and family there. As a special touch on the day where the heat index was to reach 100+, the guests were offered a lovely palm wedding fan, complete with an attached program of the Wedding Party. During the ceremony, each read personal vows to each other. Pais shed her old tennis shoes as a symbol of her new life. Andy held a sword. A reception was held under the trees following the ceremony. Just the Facts: Wedding Party: Maid of Honor: Kate Smiley. Best Man: Blake Brosmer. Bridal Party: Jordan Lambka, Henry Keith, Hope Monroe.
Groomsmen: Michael Helfirch and Corey Berner. Flower Girls: Gnoli Raynor and LeiLea Raynor. Ring Bearers: Mak Raynor and Caven Raynor. Parents of the Bride: Dan & Zan Raynor. Mother of the Groom: Carol Helfirich. Grandmother of the Bride: Maggie Streib. Officiant: John Leatherman. In Rememberance: Dick Helflrich, Father of the Groom.
