The streetcar bridge that spanned Minnehaha Creek connecting Bryant Avenue
South.  Does anybody know when it was torn down?  The pedestrian bridge that
was to its east still exists.  I stood on that bridge the other day and was
struck how it's beginning to look like a mini-35W below there with all the
asphalt bike and walking paths springing up.  When we were kids we cut our
own paths down there and fancied it our own wilderness - what can you say,
city kids!  A few blocks from there was the Dairy Queen on Lyndale where the
Washburn Branch library stands today.  Also, does anybody remember the old
concrete bridge over the creek at Dupont that somebody painted red, white
and blue like the flag in about 1969?
