“The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

During this morning's expedition to located the remains of the old Sylvania Plant I passed by a few interesting sites...........

Ignore the Bridge

It was a beautiful day down at the City Dock this morning. Here a grandfather was teaching his young grandson how to fish. Yes that is the dam railroad bridge in the background. The bridge further down is the Chatham Bridge.

Ever Wonder What's Underneath a Bridge as You Go Over?
Well take a look. During today's morning stroll I passed under the Blue and Gray Parkway bridge over the Rappahannock. Once known in the burg as, "The Bridge to Nowhere." Needless to say the parkway project generated a lot of discussion when the project was first brought forward. Ah, but that is a story for another day.

The Other End of the Rocky Lane.

Off to the left you can see part of the Rocky Lane which I had previously photographed from Caroline Street looking down towards the City Dock. This photos was taken from the City Dock. The house to the right was built at a time that Fredericksburg was a thriving port.

The "Eiffel Tower"
A Fredericksburg landmark--The Purina Tower located next to the train station. Usually the photos of this structure are taken from across the railroad tracks. This photo was taken from the Sophia Street parking lot. The building to the left is the Janney-Marshall Building. The stack in the background is from one of the old rail buildings. A good sample of the city's industrial history.
