(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.

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.

Wow. I've been going to the Bridgeview, IL location since it opened. The quality of the food has decreased dramatically recently, as have the attentiveness of the staff. On Monday evening I placed a simple drive-thru order. 6 piece shrimp dinner, mushroom & swiss burger basket (everything on the burger), fries, diet soda, two concrete mixers. I arrive home. No cocktail sauce. No cutlery or napkins. The bag is DRIPPING grease. My burger was tossed in sideways and I'm staring at a pile of cheese all over the bottom of the box. It's a good thing that they FORGOT to put anything on the burger - that would have been a worse mess. The fries were greasy, inedible and tasted like they were cooked in week old automotive oil. I called the location, spoke to the manager. "Can you come by Weds after 4pm and talk to me?" Promised replacement food and a free cup of custard. I went tonight. I stood, waiting for her for almost 20 minutes. Employees reminded her multiple times I was there. Not a word. I was totally ignored. The employees looked embarrassed. Ironic, don't you think? I'm there to talk to her about terrible service, and I receive even worse service from her. Diane, I don't know what your problem is, but this is the ideal way to chase away loyal customers.

The Colonial Apartments (three units) are closed at this time and has been bought by a New York firm, or so I was told. I used to love seeing this building in the early 70's with Cadillac's Oldsmobile 98's and Lincolns parked out front. I never knew there was an outdoor swimming pool.
There used to be a sign out front that read Colonial Apartments and it looked quite similar to the Colony Motel sign in Brookfield, IL.
This is the last sign to stand on these poles. In the 70's a very tall red and blue multi row neon sign stood here
The last K Mart in the Chicagoland area will be closing sometime in December 2019. The store is virtually empty right now. All the good stuff is gone.

Firemen Magazine, May 1960. Advertisement for the Snorkel Fire Equiptment Company, Grandview Missouri.
The Village Bedford Park, (Cook County) Illinois purchased a Pitman made Snorkel circa 1960 for use by the Fire and Public Works Department. This truck saw over three decades of service with the village and now sits rusting in a public works facility yard.
Robert Quinn, Fire Commissioner of the neighboring Chicago Fire Department developed the concept of the snorkel as a fire fighting apparatus. Word has it that this rig was first purchased by Chicago, however the truck chassis was too wide for most city side streets and Bedford Park bought the newly constructed GMC / Pitman rig.

Grate Sign Company made this neon sign for Dukes Drive at 81st Place and Harlem Avenue. They closed in August 2019.
The building will be demolished to make way for another Panera Bread which is currently located at 79th & Harlem Ave.
Southbound traffic can not turn left into PB due to the high center divider. Due to customers not being able to get in off Harlem they decided to move up the street where there is a dedicated center turning lane.
Dukes Drive In is planning on re-opening in a much smaller Brown's Fried Chicken building which is in a vacant building on an out lot at 87th & Harlem Avenue. That building houses several other tenants, as well.
Update: THe 87th location never materialized. Dukes eventually did move into a Gas & Go Convienience Store as the main eatery at 19990 South LaGrange Road, Mokena, ILL
