Funny you should post this the same day that the pedestrian bridge at the Packard Plant collapsed. It's really quite sad. It was one of the more visible symbols of the Packard legacy and now it's gone. It kind of spooks me on a personal level as I'd pass under it at LEAST once a week, and often times two or three times a week during the summer to get to Belle Isle.
