Minneapolis MN - remembering those lost when the bridge collapsed





I remember the night. It was terribly hot and humid and I was debating about a bike ride. Biking around and possibly even under the bridge would have been in the route in the head that evening. The heat and humidity pushed me to run a few errands instead. I hopped in the car after one stop and couldn't understand at all what they were saying on the radio. I had to get home and see the pictures on tv to understand the bridge that collapsed was the bridge I ride around.

The new monument is a couple blocks from the office. A serene spot along the river - just down river from the wild and overactive waterfall that 2011 has brought us.
