three50eight: another one from the book of bridges. i didn’t catch the date on this one When I saw this photo yesterday I started thinking about bridges in Pittsburgh a little more, and I remembered Mike Madison’s “Manifesto for a New Pittsburgh,” in which he uses the bridge as a metaphor for ways we can connect to other cities, countries, companies, and organizations.  It’s an excellent idea that he’s laid out. But the physical bridges in the area have always interested me; and as Mike points out, they’re an appropriate metaphor for the connective possibilities for the city.  I’d also add that they appropriately illustrate the challenges the area faces in terms of both its physical and metaphorical landscape.
