Last Sunday went exactly as planned, and the Greenfield Bridge is indeed ready for business, and very nicely done. Even the barriers to keep people from jumping off are attractive. Also, we discovered that its true name is the Beechwood Blvd. Bridge - really? We traversed the Greenfield streets for a while, and behind St. Rosalia's, found our favorite bushwhacking hill so blocked off with invasive plants and threatening signs that even we didn't dare to go on. It reminded me of the scene from Sleeping Beauty where all the vines start proliferating. Fittingly, 61C was comforting as usual.
