Marco.....Polo.....
Good Ol' Rust
Although much of this part of the trail is industrial in nature, not all of it is. Here are some shots from the communities along the trail.
Old Cobblestone Streets...In relatively good condition.

I love the cobblestone street. What an unexpected find!
I'm guessing that's 20th St? There are a couple of really well preserved brick roads in this area. 17th might be the best, as it goes for 6 or 8 blocks. I think there's a stretch of Yandes that's still bricked as well.
The quality of the brick roads remaining in Martindale-Brightwood make the preserved stretch of 10th St. in St. Joseph look like a joke.
Amazing what decades of neglecting a neighborhood can "preserve"!
The cobblestone street is in fact 20th street and are in significanly better shape than the ones in St. Joseph, but I think the ones in the Irish Hill area are even better preserved; also a product of decades of neglect...
You may have missed my post on the Monon last year.
Last time I was on the trail, I noticed the sign for the stables of the Polk Milk building was missing. I hope they are only repairing it.
I remember seeing your post now that you remided me of it. I missed the sign, but I always walk past your 'dwell' house on my way to the trail from home. My 20th Street shot is eerily similar to yours; looks like it was shot from the same angle :)
