The Bridge Project: Bloomingdale's Traverse, originally uploaded by LarimdaME.

Now that I think about it, I recall vaguely that it existed, but until I saw it this past week I had totally forgotten that Bloomingdale's had one. How cool is that?

Connector

Connector, originally uploaded by churl.

Inspired by my brother's bridge project, I noticed this connector in Lansing. It's huge. It's almost as big as one of the buildings that it connects.

Korean Traverse

2004-11-05T01:12:00.000-05:00
