BadNick 07-04-2011 07:27 AM

meanwhile, east of the mrs?

BadNick 07-04-2011 10:24 AM

yes east of the mrs.

Maybe I'll reconsider my party affiliation since now I see she trimmed her twat and has nice tits, and Obama doesn't.

uncle phil 07-04-2011 04:07 PM

north of the 40?

Ourcrazymodern? 07-04-2011 04:56 PM

south of the 30?

BadNick 07-04-2011 08:22 PM

North of the 40, so ergo, not south of the 30.

Sorry you couldn't both be right. Unless I head north of the 40 and keep going all the way around and then I would eventually be heading north toward the 30...in that case, yes.

Ourcrazymodern? 07-04-2011 08:50 PM

Funny. Did you have a good 4th?

Are you north of the 45th?

uncle phil 07-05-2011 02:31 AM

does the state you are in border on the atlantic?

BadNick 07-05-2011 06:34 AM

I had a great 4th, I hope you did, too. I love fireworks and we had a couple big ones locally. First down in our little town they had the typical great show like every year and I can walk to this one, only two blocks from home; then when that's over we take a quick ride to a hillside overlooking the Phila Art Museum where they had a huge show later in the evening after the concerts there ended. I lubricated my evening with a summer shandy beer which I would never have thought I'd like, since it has lemonade in it. But ever since I tasted it I've been happily drinking more...this is Leinenkugel Summer Shandy from Wisconsin

I am south of the 45, and the state I'm in does not border the Atlantic. I am at a historically significant place inside a city.

uncle phil 07-05-2011 10:36 AM

are you in massachusetts?

BadNick 07-05-2011 11:07 AM

nope

uncle phil 07-05-2011 12:11 PM

connecticut?

BadNick 07-05-2011 03:15 PM

no connecting or cutting by you or I

uncle phil 07-05-2011 03:23 PM

new jerk?

BadNick 07-05-2011 04:17 PM

no jerks here, not to mention new j's has an Atlantic coast. Look under the beer bottle above.

Ourcrazymodern? 07-05-2011 07:38 PM

You're not at the Leinenkugel's Brewery in Chippewa Falls, are you?

uncle phil 07-06-2011 12:45 PM

penns woods?

BadNick 07-06-2011 07:13 PM

yep, right in good old Billy's boscage

I'm at a structure of some noted historical superlativeness.

uncle phil 07-07-2011 02:43 AM

are you in the city of brotherly love?

BadNick 07-07-2011 06:43 AM

no wonder I love you, unc...yes

uncle phil 07-07-2011 01:16 PM

does it pertain to UPenn?

Ourcrazymodern? 07-07-2011 03:49 PM

Independence Hall?

BadNick 07-07-2011 07:37 PM

nothing to do with any university or school and not a building, but still a man made structure with historical significance

uncle phil 07-08-2011 02:36 AM

mr. franklin's bridgework?

BadNick 07-08-2011 08:33 PM

unc, your guess captured a couple of key words but I'm not at Ben's bridge. But it is a bridge and involves Billy more than Ben.

uncle phil 07-09-2011 03:42 AM

the only billy bridge of which i'm aware is the william f. danne hower bridge, which may technically not be in philly proper...

BadNick 07-09-2011 08:34 AM

...which is why that's not where I am.

There is still part of what you said above in the name of where I am. But the name Bill, Billy, William, or Penn or any part thereof is not in the name of this bridge ...which, of course, has great historical significance or I wouldn't be here. It is within Philly city limits and has a major street running over it and is way older than any of us.

uncle phil 07-09-2011 09:02 AM

aha!

university avenue bridge?

BadNick 07-09-2011 11:54 AM

the "...avenue bridge" part is right, but not "university" << look back and you'll find that you used part of the right word above.

The bridge I'm on was built more than 200 years before University Ave. Bridge.

uncle phil 07-09-2011 12:16 PM

then it must be...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankford_Avenue_Bridge

BadNick 07-09-2011 12:41 PM

Be eye engee oh! you found me, unc...your turn again

When I was a wee boy, my friends and I used to take the 66 bus (a trackless trolley, electric power, green ahead of its time!) and get off on this bridge to fish in the Pennypack Creek which runs under it, or keep going north to Linden Ave. and then walk down to the ponds of the old fish hatchery there along the Delaware River.

I just drove over it very recently when my younger son and I were cruising around since he wanted to see other parts of Philadelphia..we stopped at the Rita's Water Ice place down the street from here and I had Passion Fruit water ice...my favorite.

The Frankford Avenue Bridge, also known as the Pennypack Creek Bridge, the Holmesburg Bridge, and the King's Highway Bridge, erected in 1697 or 1698 in the Holmesburg section of Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the oldest surviving roadway bridge in the United States. The three-span, 73-foot-long (22 m) twin stone arch bridge carries Frankford Avenue (U.S. Route 13), just north of Solly Avenue, over Pennypack Creek in Pennypack Park.

The bridge, built at the decree of William Penn, was an important link on the King's Highway that linked Philadelphia with cities to the north (Trenton, New York, and Boston). Male residents of the area were obligated to pledge labor or money toward its construction. Over it crossed anyone who traveled by horseback or coach from the northern colonies to the First or Second Continental Congresses, such as John Adams, from Massachusetts. In 1803, it was paved, and a toll booth was added at its south end. The bridge was widened in 1893 to accommodate streetcars, and again in 1950 to better accommodate automobile traffic. It remains in use today.

The bridge was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1970. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
