Eagle Avenue Bridge

 The soon to be demolished Eagle Avenue Bridge, I don't know how many times I crossed this bridge. It was a great treat when I was a kid for the bridge to be up for a passing ore ship. The Erie freight station was next to this bridge, always a lot of rail activity here as well, all long gone now.

Monroe Street Cemetery

 The Monroe Street Cemetery at 3207 Monroe Street was formally dedicated on November 12, 1841, although there are graves that predate that date. This is the oldest cemetery on the west side of Cleveland and has been cleaned up in the last few years. We hadn't been here in a while, a very interesting place to visit, especially pleasant on a sunny autumn afternoon.
