Our ground zero
I've had a couple of chances to go by the I-35 bridge in the last few days. While it's hard to get an actual view of the bridge, at least casually, my main impression was of the difference of scale. This bridge was big. The gap that's opened up by it is major. It's also odd to be the focus of national news--to see Tim Dolan (whose cell phone number we had back when we lived close to a major drug corner) on CNN is somewhat surreal. The pictures on TV and the web do a better job of getting the details, but the whole scope of this event is much more striking at the actual site--the satellite trucks, signage, and onlookers give context to the site.
