It's not a tunnel, it's a river underpass.

No pics yet? C'mon, you latte sippers. Walk your lazy asses over there and upload a pic from your iphone, or whatever you hipsters are using to send telegrams these days.

I guess that settles it. The location sucks!

[Sliver]

Yeah seriously. We've been getting daily pics of it for the past ten years or so that it has been under tarps and now that it's done, nothing? WTF are we paying you for, Bigtime?

[Bigtime]

I'm getting paid? Sweet!

I may walk over and get a pic or two this weekend, but I really need to get my lazy butt in gear and put up the Christmas lights too.

Ugh, dude putting up Christmas Lights is the worst. You really have to warm up before going it despite it not being an overly physical activity.

A word to the wise, I tend to go for a walk to loosen up before getting up on the ladder and over extending myself to get those bloody things up.

Hey, since you're going for a walk anyway, you should grab your camera and snap a few pictures of the bridge!

I thought that the major criticism of the location was because it was too close to 10th Street, and coincidentally, the lattes?

nvm, can't post images.

Found this one on Flickr of the bridge in its final position:

I feel like switching to satellite TV, but a provider that's not ExpressVu. Not sure why I feel this way.

Doesn't look like the railings are done yet?

I don't know if Shaw does satellite, but I do know that you can call them and ask. Just be prepared to be on hold for an hour+.

I'm excited to take perspective photos and make it look like the bridge is a weird penis.

[CaptainCrunch]

I'm going to stand down river from it and get a picture that makes it look like its being rammed up my butt.
