I was at the International Festival on friday night to enjoy a little Summertime fun with my brother-in-law. After paying $6.00 for a lame calzone, and dropping $12.00 on three 8oz. Guiness beers, we got to see the much awaited lighting of the Charles Berry bridge.
The Mayor, County Commissioners and Port Authority officials all stood up and gave long winded speeches about how great this project was for the city of Lorain. Also mentioned, under the cuff, was the cost to light the bridge--a meager $250,000! It reminded me of a silver Christmas tree that my parents once owned that had that revolving multi-colored spotlight underneath it to change the colors of the tree. I was a little un-impressed and wonder if we spent our (taxpayer) dollars wisely on this project?

Hi there. That's actually my photo you have there. I don't you using it, but if you could credit it to Rona Proudfoot I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
