The rebirth of a monster

Schrecken13
August 17, 2024
Now that the summer is just about over, it is expected that very soon (possibly before labor day) an announcement will be made regarding the rebuilding of the Key Bridge. The state will have then chosen a contractor (or contractors) to construct a new bridge to occupy the space of the iron monste...

Warning signs

Schrecken13
August 14, 2024
As we were traveling home there was one strange thing I noticed that I didn't see on the way to Wildwood. I was preparing to film our drive over of the Delaware Memorial Bridge when I noticed a sign along the side of the road. The sign wasn't very big, nor brightly colored, and it…

A visit to the shore

Schrecken13
August 13, 2024
Of the three steel titans of the Delmarva area (the Key Bridge, the Delaware Memorial and the Bay Bridge), I would have to say that the Delaware monster is the most dreadful and intimidating looking upon approach. The Key Bridge would have come in second, as it was somewhat steep, and the Bay Bri...

An intimidating structure

Schrecken13
August 12, 2024
An interesting aside – perhaps there is a way to identify which bridges are guilty of drawing jumpers. Those blue crisis hot line signs can mark them as monsters that have seen and enabled such deaths. These aren't too easy to see from a driver's perspective, but by watching drive over videos slo...

Hidden misdeeds

Schrecken13
August 10, 2024
I am now in the process of preparing for my trip to the beach this coming weekend, but as of yet I've not figured out a way to be able to see the mini-Skyway monster as a part of our trip. But even if I can't manage to deviate from our planned route, it still…

The frustrations of monster hunting

Schrecken13
August 6, 2024
It won't be long before I will be heading to the New Jersey Shore to spend the weekend at the beach and visit some of the seaside amusement parks. My husband, as I figured, has no interest in taking the ferry from Delaware across to Cape May. The plan now is to take the “northern”…

A trio of terror

Schrecken13
August 2, 2024
But this mini Skyway isn't on my path to and from my destination in New Jersey. It isn't too far from an alternate path back into Maryland, but I'd still have to detour a few miles to see it. I'll have to see if I can find an excuse to cross it on the way…

A familiar journey

Schrecken13
August 2, 2024
In the mean time, I am still going ahead with my plans to walk the length of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge this fall. Doing so isn't cheap, but neither was walking the New River Gorge Bridge. Such experiences are pretty rare to come by, and in the scheme of things even a seemingly high price…

True oddities

Schrecken13
July 31, 2024
I cannot help but wonder about the next version of the Key Bridge, as that is a question that is also on the minds of many others at this time. Ever so often this query makes the local news as speculation continues. At this time the state is vetting and selecting contractors who can meet…

The memories remain

Schrecken13
July 22, 2024
And then there is the much more modern (and far less well known) concrete beast that stands guard at the north entrance to Savannah, Georgia on Route 17. Several years ago I was visiting Savannah, again with my mom. As I drove south on 17 the land lay low and flat, interspersed with marshes and&h...
