This is downtown Booneville, Mississippi - my home town. In the foreground is a bridge over a railroad track which runs left to right (and right to left!) underneath this bridge. When I was growing up here, we simply called this "The Overhead Bridge" because it was the only one in town. Years ago, Don Lee Keith (a Booneville native who moved on to become a respected journalist at the Times Picayune in New Orleans and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize twice) was talking with an acquaintance who had just returned from a visit to Paris, France. The acquaintance kept going on and on about how beautiful the Eiffel Tower was. And Don Lee finally replied that "You’ve not seen anything ’til you’ve seen the Overhead Bridge at night!"
