Take a stroll down the Minneapolis 35W bridge using Google's street view (now with more cities) I can only guess about the timing of this street view, but it looks eerily similar to what the bridge looked like in the months/days before its demise street view resources: streetvwr streetview sightings street view fun other finds: Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall man bending over decapitated man walks girls sunbathing so many possible hours of interesting and or fun things, so many privacy fears to ignore...

Deliberately turning her camera from the wreckage, That Red Girl gives us a look at what's going on in her now quarantined life mere blocks from the recent Minneapolitan bridge collapse.

"Several neighbors and I stood in our driveway late into the night debriefing the day. We now live in lockdown. Police must escort us around. We must meet any guests at the corner, they cannot approach the building alone. Residents are told to ask people they do not recognize to show their keys and prove themselves. We joke about seeing everyone’s “FOBs” to those we know well. The dogs are all leashed, tying themselves together as they try to play like normal. It’s frustrating to everyone that we can’t run around as normal. The word “quarantine” is tossed around. People are nervous. One of the residents hasn’t been seen since Wednesday morning. She may be on vacation… no one knows. We see one of the neighbors being interviewed on the corner and a few young girls trying to flirt with the police to gain entrance to our complex. The dogs continued to wrestle and we continued to talk."
