Title: Kingsbury / C&E South parting shots
Post by: Jeff Wingstrom on September 17, 2013, 09:44:51 PM: Knowing what was going on, I didn't bike down Kingsbury between North Ave. and Division all last year, as I normally would. Couldn't stomach the carnage ::) Well, I checked it out the other day and while there are a few artifacts if you look closely, in general the whole stretch has been scrubbed clean - more so than I was expecting. This is pretty much all that's left:

So I figured it's time to post several shots I took on this stretch during the summer of 2011 for posterity. In retrospect, it's pretty wild how much was left.
