@drdrang No doubt! The bridge history museum (https://www.bridgehousemuseum.org/) is a cool stop downtown sometime.

Feels steampunk every time I see it move!
@drdrang A friend of mine literally wrote the book on Chicago bridges - http://pmcbriarty.com/chicago-history/chicago-river-bridges/.

Austin Kocher, PhD 🌎I found this taped to the door of the geography department at GWU today and it brought me so much joy. A guide to figuring out when a map was made based on features. Zoom in. It’s amazing.
