The arch-like shape formed by the bridge reminded me of this arch in my
own "home town" that I recently left to come to South Carolina.

This one is in Endicott, NY. There's another one like it in the
adjacent town of Johnson City. Very brief story here

The workers loved the boss who was a very paternal employer. But much
too paternal. The Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company has long been out of
business... unable to compete with southern US shoe companies in the
1950s and later, like all US shoe companies, unable to compete with
China and the rest of the low labor cost world.

Indiana. It was installed a few years ago as part of a project to beautify
the downtown area.
