Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge

The Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge as seen from the Bay of Green Bay. This photo was taken by Tom on one of his fishing expeditions. Leo founded Paul's Pantry here in Green Bay, a very worthwhile charity.

A Sushi Bridge

My family went out to the sushi restaurant they enjoy best, Little Tokyo, and had a bridge of sushi. Everything looked as was very good. You'll notice I said "they", because I don't like any sushi restaurant, because I don't like sushi. Yes, I've tried it, at my friend's favorite sushi place ... in Japan ... so it was good ... lets just say I'm a picky eater and leave it at that. The proprietor makes me an excellent chicken cutlet with rice.

On Top of the Bridge

Today, we're on top of the bridge connecting East and West De Pere. De Pere is a suburb just south of Green Bay. The bridge is the Claude Allouez Bridge and it opened in October of 2007.

Under the Bridge

A semi-artsy photo today. I took this under the State Highway 172 bridge from the east side of the Fox River. The Fox River Trail is nice paved trail along the river on the east side that goes from downtown Green Bay to De Pere (and then to Greenleaf).

Also, the river looks a lot shallower at this point.

Walnut Street Bridge

on a whole lot nicer day than it was today.

The Rest of the Rest of the ... Bridge (Side View)

This is the side view of the spinning railroad bridge from the walking/running/biking/rollerblading path on the East Side of the Fox River.

The Rest of the Story ... er Bridge.

You can see the spinning part of the railroad bridge on the left side of this photo. I've seen some very large boats go thru that narrow channel. Next time I see a boat I'll try to follow it for a picture and get some more interesting perspective.

Abandoned Railroad Bridge Littered with Seagulls

This railroad bridge crosses the Fox River south of the Mason Street bridge and north of DePere's Claude Allouez bridge. Large ships still use the narrow channel between this permanent bridge and one of those old spinning railroad bridge which is now affixed in the open position.

Back on the Boat: Calumet of Cleveland, OH

The Calumet goes thru the uprights of the Walnut Street Bridge. More info on the Calumet right can be found here. The Walnut Street Bridge is defacto mid point of the city as Walnut St divides the city by North and South Addresses and the Fox River divides the city by East and West Addresses.

Boat Delays Traffic Going West over the Ray Nitschke Bridge

While I had time on my hands I stepped out of the car and got a shot of the "coal boat" traveling down the from the Bay of Green Bay down the Fox River
