Just walk away, Renee

Best I can tell, this woman just broke up with the WWE's The Undertaker, who's lurking in the background.

Hi there. You can follow this blog on Tumblr now, if that's more your thang: twincitiesseen.tumblr.com.

That has to be Bridge L-5853

MN-Dot Bridge #L-5853. Famous for being the second-oldest reinforced concrete arch bridge in Minnesota, this pedestrian bridge spans a former streetcar right-of-way. And it evens stands up to fog.

Always one in the crowd

Morning fog in Como Park:

Abandoned building, Gettysburg:

Sachs Bridge

Originally built in 1852 and crossed by both armies in the battle of Gettysburg in 1863. In 1996, when Marsh Creek flooded, the bridge washed downstream approximately a hundred yards, but within a year it again spanned the creek, with over 90% of the original truss and lattice intact.

Today only three covered bridges survive in Adams County.

The Mighty Portillo's

The first Portillo's hot dog stand opened in 1963. Now the Portillo Restaurant Group is the Midwest's largest privately-owned restaurant company. And if I'm not mistaken, they steam their hot dog buns.

Waiting for a ride...or a donut.

First spotted this beauty in the parking lot of a bar and restaurant along Lake Pepin. Saw it again about ten minutes later, parked along the side of the road, cop car with flashing lights right behind it. I don't think it was a social call.
