There was a traffic light on my way to the terminal with one of those "Signal Being Evaluated For Removal" signs.
The Memorial Day tornado finished the evaluation, and removed it........ -
That's good.....maybe the city will get a discount on the renovation lol
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
That bridge is pretty much had it. I hate to say this but it is good someone got it down before it came down.

2) Detroit's mayor won't have any time to give the demolition project contract to one of his cronies.
