35 W Bridge back lite blue

 August 1, 2007, the 35 W bridge collapsed as the evening rush hour was winding down.  Scores of people were seriously injured and too many died. 

A year later the new two-span bridge was open and dedicated.  Depending on the evening I have driven West Mississippi River Boulevard into or out of downtown, it has been back lite in pink, blue or greeen.  This week, however, in honor of Gay Pride Week, it is a "Rainbow over the Mississippi."  It is a very cool and gray June day that I am confident will be made brighter once I drive down the boulevard and under the "Rainbow over the Mississippi."  Makes me smile just to think about it!
