Related: About this forumCharlottesville - the bridge at 14th and University scores again
For five years in the '70s I had a window overlooking this area on the UVA Corner. I saw various bridge vs. truck competitions. The most notable were a church steeple and a live chicken truck.
I am overwhelmed with nostalgia.

I know the location all too well . . . .
and here I thought my 10 1/2 foot tall motorhome was safe from practically EVERY bridge, but not even that bridge! And yes, I did not mis-type, my 30 year old Airstream Motorhome is honestly 10 1/2 feet tall, WITH the roof-top Air Conditioners!
