Covington, KY

Just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Covington, KY is home to a remarkable collection of historic 19th Century buildings. And, as the pictures below indicate, it also contains plenty of historic infrastructure as well. The sewer grate is from 1955. And although it doesn't have a date, I am also including a picture of a city road, whose surface, prior to being paved, appears to have been wooden pavers rather than cobblestones or brick.


Trumansburg, NY

Another guest photographer!!
This one was taken in the town of Trumansburg, NY, by Andy Rumbach. T'burg is located just outside of Ithaca to the west of Cayuga Lake. It is famous for many reasons, including the corn maze that appears every fall, the New York Pizzeria, and the Rongovian Embassy. And they have their own Gimme Coffee, so there is that too... This bridge has been carrying the citizens of Rongovia to and from their varied destinations for fifty years. Thank you New York State Department of Public Works!
