I'm not sorry bout ur bridge.

Lamplighter 10-25-2011 04:37 PM

By coincidence, I had just driven to Astoria about 3 weeks ago, for the first time in ~30 years.
But that's the reason I didn't give a name in my post.

If you'd like another bridge over the Columbia, search Google Images for "St Johns bridge Portland"
Under the bridge is "Cathedral Park"... We (in PDX) think it's a magical place.

Where is this?

Gravdigr 10-26-2011 02:42 PM

Somewhere wet and European.

Gravdigr 10-26-2011 02:47 PM

OK 30 minutes is enough for me today. I got nothing.

There's not enough unique reference there for my fragile little mind today.

It's not Europe. Those parking lots and vehicles are too big for it to be Europe. Plus there is too much space between buildings. The roofs of the houses are peaked. They look northern and fairly old. It's gotta be northern USA. Probably north east or rust belt. Near a river. Twin traffic circles are fairly rare here, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Train track too. Train tracks along rivers are common.

I have never seen a traffic circle in person, and I've been to thirty or so states.

But not lately, though.

Gravdigr 10-26-2011 03:18 PM

Thinking about it, I've never seen video or photos of a roundabout in the U.S., either.

I feel cheated.

Oh, you haven't lived! Traffic circles are just peachy

Are you sure that those are traffic circles and not roundabouts? I don't see any stop signs.

Lamplighter 10-26-2011 03:39 PM

and just swell for pedestrians - NOT

I thought they were the same thing. we have these weird traffic circle intersections here in the city. but they have traffic signals, so they are the worst of both worlds.

I don't think the roads involved have ever been referred to as a horse pike. Getting warm, though.

What is the difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle?
