Two Deer Rivers

|

There are two Deer Rivers in the North Country of New York.

Deer River – a tributary of St. Regis River – This river starts at the Deer River Flow, generally flowing north east to the Saint Regis River, through Deer River State Forest and Brasher Falls.

Deer River – a tributary of Black River – This river starts about 3 miles of Barnes Corners, north of Sears Pond State Forest, enters a deep gorge near Lookout State Forest, flows through Copenhagen and the village of Deer River.

The Old Dunn Bridge

|

I often think people romanticize cities before the highways - often city streets were narrowed with fewer lanes, more parallel parking added, after the highways were built. Broadway with the old Dunn Bridge and all the slip ramps to the bridge was kind of a monster on its own when mixed and mashed traffic heading in all directions with six lanes in front of the D & H building. Old Broadway and State wasn't particularly pedestrian friendly back in the 1950s and 1960s. I'm playing the devils advocate to a degree here but ramming a lot of traffic throughout urban downtowns isn't necessarily conducive to healthy, pedestrian scale neighborhoods. I'm not defending Frank Fuller's baby, Interstate 787 but we shouldn't be romantic about saving the Old Broadway / Old Dunn Bridge. It was pretty hideous for any body but the motorist back then.
