I grew up @ 722 St. Clair St, 3 houses south of O'Brien's corner store, in the 50s-60s. Knew it well. No idea if/when it had been moved there. These are terrific history lessons, Bob !! Many thanks. Pam Conley Barton

2/23/2019 Update for the curious: The Pere Marquette bascule train bridge is still standing, for now. I've lost track of the ruling by the Army Corps of Engineers after public input had been submitted (no pun intended). When you made this episode, the deteriorated section of track that the bridge would have lowered onto was in really bad shape. Since then, the Community Foundation of St. Clair County obtained grants from James Acheson to improve the entire site from the Black River, along the shore of St. Clair River, all the way to the Seaway Terminal. The little section of track has been stabilized, the wood repaired, and wooden benches installed. It's now the terminus of a cement "boardwalk" that runs the shoreline from that section of track, along Black River, and a little ways along St. Clair River. But since you'll talk about that whole section of the city in the next video, I'll stop commenting here.

I'd like to know what other videos showcase this area and the railroad bridge. I have a boat at Desmond Marine and would love to know more of the history of the area

Also the building at the corner of st.clair and glenwood, my sister crashed her car into back in 2006, she turn the corner too quick and crashed. She knocked down the office walls inside. The building also belonged to our landlord.

Whoever removes the train bridge should be removed as well

Do you think that could be the lumber mill building that was physically moved to Glenwood Ave. & St. Clair street? The dimensions are similar. It was a cigarette and candy business for many years.
