UP YPR60B pulls up next to the Chicago Tribune's Freedom Center which is still buzzing with activity despite what's to come. The building opened in 1981 replacing the Tribune's original printing presses underneath the Tribune Tower in what is now River North. It will be torn down this summer to make way for the new Bally's casino with printing operations being moved to another plant in Schaumburg.

This Motmot spent some time hunting off this little perch. There was an admiring audience of birders. It was so tame I was half tempted to try to remove the grass from its head :)
Cleveland, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
The Center Street Bridge is a historic and functional steel bridge located in Cleveland, Ohio, known for its ability to rotate to allow river traffic to pass.
Bridge Type: It is a swing bridge of the Pratt Truss type, meaning it rotates on a central pivot in the middle of the river to open a two-way navigation channel, an essential feature on the Cuyahoga River.
Location and Function: The bridge crosses the Cuyahoga River in The Flats district. When built in 1901, it was crucial for connecting the downtown area with the west bank and facilitating the transport of goods. Today, it remains a vital artery for both road traffic and commercial navigation.
Historical Significance: It is one of the oldest swing bridges still in service in the region and represents Cleveland's industrial heritage and the historical importance of the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie commerce and industry.
Design: Although the superstructure has been modified over time, the base and the swinging mechanism remain.
You rarely get a glimpse of Metro Center Station so empty, especially as things open up (slightly). This was possibly the last chance for such a thing.

Significance: The RenCen is an urban landmark representing both the vision of a modern future for Detroit and its corporate legacy, visually dominating the city skyline.
