An article in the Trumbull County Tribune Chronicle stated 'work is expected to begin in a couple of months' and should take approx 90 days to complete once started. The article also highlights the difficulties in getting the project underway, particularly due to the magnitude of the cost which is estimated in the winning bid of around $762,000. ----- Newton Falls Covered Bridge is the second oldest surviving covered bridge in the state of Ohio. The oldest is Roberts Bridge, built just two years earlier in 1829 and has the added distinction of being one of only 6 double-barrel, truss-designed bridges surviving in the United States. We visited the bridge early July (2023) and although it was closed to vehicle traffic, the covered pedestrian section was still actively being used by walkers and cyclists. The inscription on the land marker reads: "The Newton Falls covered bridge was built over the east branch of the Mahoning River around 1831. A crosswalk was added in 1921 for children crossing the bridge on their way to the school on Center Street. The Newton Falls bridge is considered the second oldest existing covered bridge in Ohio, the oldest covered bridge in use on its original site, the only covered bridge in the state with a covered crosswalk, and the last surviving covered bridge in Trumbull County. Built on the Town Lattice truss plan, the bridge is 123 feet long and twenty-four feet wide. It has a clear span of 101 1/2 feet and a sixteen foot-wide roadway. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the structure is maintained by Trumbull County." ----- Unfortunately there is a slight error on the marker that needs correction! We ironically discovered the existence of Newton Falls covered bridge after conversation with a random stranger at another Ohio historic landmark - Lanterman's Mill. He learned of my love of covered bridges and told us of this drivable covered bridge that also happened to be on our way to another Ohio treasure - Chagrin Falls. So we detoured here. I couldn't help but smirk when I read it is "the only covered bridge in the state with a covered crosswalk" since I had just come from Lanterman's Mill covered bridge... another covered bridge IN THE STATE with a covered crosswalk. The marker was erected in 1999 and the Mill bridge was constructed in 1989. So technically the marker has been incorrect since it was first placed. FINAL THOUGHTS Hopefully the construction schedule will go as planned and maybe they will even have this beauty up and running by Christmas of 2023! Bet it would look fabulous draped in garland & icicle lights, and a mistletoe :-) 2023 / 16

Direct quote. There were crumbs on the ground and table. ***Clutching my pearls*** Mind you, we cleaned up everything we brought with us, we put every table and chair exactly where it was when we first entered the space. We wiped down the tables with what little cleaning supplies we had. We were not provided with a vacuum or even wipes, so I'm not sure how we could have cleaned crumbs from the floor. Rob then proceeded to say that he was charging a $25 cleaning fee that would need to be paid prior our next training. I used to use this library all the time, and I will never step foot into this shithole ever again due to the way that myself and my organization were treated by Rob Liste. Fuck this library.

But my only interactions with these police officers have been nice polite conversation at a gas station, and also being directed around construction workers as well.
