Symbol of an era! Beautiful composition.

This is a concept picture that some genius created in 1936, for a spiral drive-up ramp system to compliment the Eiffel Tower. No matter how well done something is, there is always a dumbass that thinks he can improve upon it. I'll admit though, when I was a kid, I would have loved a chance to go down one of those ramps on a skateboard. How do you say, "Hold my beer...", in French?

That's sad that an architect couldn't see that they are messing with an icon.  That would have been an abomination.

 

My grandfather used to tell me of the harrowing experiences he had with a spiral bridge in Stillwater, Minnesota.  Many things look good on paper.

My reference was to this bridge.  he used to drive horses over it and they would get terrified when it got slippery.  It was shared with cars at the time.

 

I'm wrong!!! The picture says Hastings, MN which is even closer to where he lived.

Wow that approach and bridge is a bit spooky.  We had a bridge here that wasn't near that bad but it was narrow and had a steel grate floor.  When two trucks met on the bridge mirrors would hit if not careful.  The floor would get slippery when the may flies would hatch some years it had to be shut down because all the bodies made it a slippery mess.  The picture has the old bridge and the replacement, what difference.

Another picture that is worth a thousand words.  She is at an orphanage in Kenya in this photo.

This is a FIRST LADY - This is Our 1st Lady of the United States of America.

If she starts floating, that Secret Service better pull her out of there

CNN would release a breaking story alert that the First Lady was getting high with a bunch of kids.
