Well, dang. I knew this bridge had been closed to traffic for a very long time but when I pulled up…read moreafter a long detour into the sticks it was news to me that it's now closed off to pedestrians as well. I could have used a heads up on this one as getting on the bridge as advertised was my whole reason for coming out this way. I had a whole backpack of spray paint leftover from Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta. And all the pictures I had seen of people traipsing over this colorful bridge with impunity only made it worse. I got the best pictures I could from behind the fencing and they were disappointing. Fortunately there's a bit of graffiti under the bridge as well and it's not all mindless toy scribbling like much of what's on the forbidden bridge is. And there's some oddball abandoned house right there that's all tagged up and a weird disused basketball hoop. And some nature trails. Think those should technically be in a review for the adjacent park though but I've got too many reviews on my queue so I doubt I'll get to it. I walked as far as the next bridge over the river, an off limits train property bridge but the trails might go a lot farther. Not really sure.

They are currently renovating the Jail, so there are spots that are works in progress, but the location is a historical land mark. It is a reportedly (ok, It IS) a HAUNTED location! We were actually able to do an over night, which gave us the ability to actually investigate the location thoroughly. I personally had the experience of the "presence" of a guard walking toward me while I was in their walk way at the Solitary Confinement area. We experienced phantom voices, voices on the ovulous, and shapes appearing and interacting on the FLIR camera. Overall it was a really fun investigation. I look forward to future events.

A very cool tribute to Albany's famous son. Ray Charles was born in Albany to a poor, single mother…read moreand it was from this humble beginning that this man, who began losing his sight at five and was blind at seven years of age, rose to become am iconic and influential figure in music. Ray Charles Plaza plays the music of this gifted musician through speakers by the statue, a testament to the genius of Ray Charles. In addition to the statue, the walkway is fashioned to resemble piano keys and beyond the music, the sound of the Flint River keeps time to the soundtrack played through the speakers. If you find yourself in Albany, stop by and visit this soulful tribute to this talented man, a man who humbly preferred to be called Brother Ray amongst his musician friends, for a brother is not above, but beside.

If you're familiar with the history of the Civil War, you know that as the Confederacy in Richmond…read morefell, the President of the CSA escaped with the intention of reuniting with the Confederate Army and continuing the fight. Jefferson Davis and his party were on the run from Richmond, continuing through North Carolina and Georgia. Union forces caught up with him here in Fitzgerald on May 9, 1865 and he was arrested. There is a monument marking the exact spot on this 13 acre historic site which includes a short walking trail, a gift shop and a museum. It is an interesting site and worth an hour though it is a bit of a journey off the Interstate. I've been to a number of Confederate sites, seen endless memorials across the South (and the North), battlefields including Gettysburg, Antietam and Chickamauga, and even the Davis home in Biloxi. This is interesting if you are interested in the War Between the States. [Review 1051 of 2024 - 719 in Georgia - 22079 overall]
