Not anymore!  Now, because of the storm that ran through it Monday, it completly collapsed - I think it's hilaroius, because it's one of the great things in PA and my dad said it was the biggest bridge this side of the Mississpi  but i don't know if that's true. but now our annual picnic in the fall there doesn't seem to be happening  but it's still funny  it was a beautiful place to visit in the fall, because of the leave colors and all -- now only pictures remain of it 
But that storm was so great! I thought it was beautiful weather, but i'm one of the few that think so -- there were trees and power lines down toward the town next to us - lots of people don't have power now - including my cousins hee hee! The power loss is only funny, because it's my cousins it happend to  If it were me, then i'd be crying right now because my computer was useless, and it would be my cousins who were laughing.
I LOVE STORMS! |
It collapsed?!
Well.. being a good hundred years old..
Wow. I remember going there when I was younger.. I think.. wow... hmm.. Oh well..
They will rebuild it!
And it will collapse again!
Oh, Keba! Dont say that! We have to build a bridge, that runs straight through downtown, and it would be nice for it last longer than a few days!
The Hickory Street bridge connects two parts of town, the South side to the rest - and the people that live there, Moosie and my father included, have to use a two mile detour to get around to the main avenue.
That stupid bridge!
But the new one is suppose to be alot nicer and fancy. Which would be good..
My cousin said that he was watching CNN one day and the Hickory Bridge was on there during a segment of rundown bridges!
We only get on the news and are famous for our bridges!
