Aurora Bridge
Aurora Bridge, 167 feet above the water level of Lake Union. Officially called the George Washington Memorial Bridge, it opened on George Washington's 200th birthday in 1932. Between its construction and 2011, when 8-foot fences were added on either side of the pedestrian walkways, there were 230 known suicides here, a grim record exceeded only by the Golden Gate Bridge. Photographed from the east walkway of the Fremont Bridge. -

Pool on 14
When the Junior Olympic sized swimming pool at the Medinah Athletic Club in Chicago was completed in 1929, it was a remarkable feat of engineering - on the 14th floor of a skyscraper, it was then highest pool in the world (above ground level). Some call it the "Johnny Weissmuller Pool", as the Olympic gold medalist and Tarzan actor trained here. The building is now the Hotel InterContinental Magnificient Mile, and the pool is part of a fitness center available to hotel guests. It spans the entire width of the south tower. On the far wall is a terra cotta "Fountain of Neptune", surrounded with Spanish majolica tile. Though the fountain is currently dry, the hotel management have been careful to preserve all of the 1920s architectural detail of the space. 3-shot HDR, handheld. -

Turtle Rock Island
Turtle Rock Island near Lincoln Rock State Park. Originally a simple rocky hill on the south bank of the Columbia River, US Highway 2 ran through it. The construction of the Rocky Reach Dam in 1960 caused the formation of Lake Entiat around this hill, cutting it off from the rest of the south bank, submerging the old US Highway 2, and creating Turtle Rock Island. It is now a protected wildlife area accessible only by boat. -

Taken from the Cleaners
Auditorium Cleaners operated from 1930 to 1991 in the Odd Fellows Lodge #86 building in Fremont, Seattle. When they closed the neon sign (stripped of its glass) was relocated from the front of the building to the alley behind. (Directions: just southeast of the Lenin Statue) -
