Main Street Bridge

The old Main Street bridge was one of the best spots in town for graffiti. The historic bridge was built in 1920 and by the mid-90s was a major local piecing spot. The raw porous surface soaked up paint and by the late 90s it was covered in pieces, throw-ups, and tags. Before the bridge was demolished in 2002, I took some final photos of it with a disposable camera. At the time I didn’t have a working camera, and was only using disposables, unfortunately. Here are some of the pictures taken that day, as well as some other surviving earlier ones. Also, I’ve included a photo from the Library of Congress, and a shot of the dedication plaque.
