Howard Street Bridge 1963

I love the old pictures you see occasionally of Spokane. And since this one is of the old Howard Street Bridge, it was fitting for the blog. This picture was posted on the Spokesman-Review's website today, with some interesting information about the only handful of bridges that used to be available to get people from north Spokane downtown.

The Northwest Room of the Spokane Public Library has been digitizing a bunch of old Spokane pictures and they are online.
I remember when we could drive across the Howard bridge.
