Yep. I took that picture the day after the 35W bridge fell down. All the roads were closed down but I was able to snag a shot of a section still standing right by the mill. I'll post up some shots from that day in the PF photography thread.

Beautiful Sign. I love it.

Living in Kansas, I know how tall those grain bins are.

I should have taken a picture of the water, then you'll understand why I took a picture of this sign.

Haha! Thanks turbo, if you mean the right side of the pic, I believe it's a stairway to the metro.
