The Other Side and 10,000





Yesterday, I showed you the hole in the Susquehanna River levee from the North River Street, Wilkes-Barre side. Today-- the opposite view, from across the Susquehanna on the Kingston side. As you can see, it's an elaborate design, with steps leading down to the water. There's something similar just down river, near Wilkes University.


I hope the things gets used enough to justify the expense. There's a lot going on here. The holes in the levee keep the city from being walled off on the river side. That's not a bad idea. It's part of the attempt to make the Susquehanna a tourist attraction. Crossing North and South River Street to get to the portals will be no picnic.


And, I should note that it took less than two months to reach the 10,000 hit mark. Thanks! Sorry for continually talking about numbers here. It's because I'm constantly amazed that people take time out of their day to read this.
