Today, I saw a local landmark: Durham’s own, “11 Foot 8,” bridge. Ya know, the one that all the trunks run into.

I’ll actually be at Duke doing a hip hop literature course (I’m very excited), so I’ll be near this bridge quite often. Expect many pictures.

Oh look, new signage!

(As if the old signage wasn’t clear enough...)

Too cool. You'd think they would have the words LOW BRIDGE somewhere.

There’s a big sign with flashing lights up the street. Bike by here a lot, I work about a mile from there.

I’ll be at Duke for the next two weeks, so might just see you around.

I think these signs have been there for a while. There’s even a sign up the road for tall trucks to turn off, and even a truck detour.

That makes sense. Yeah, it’s been a while since I last watched one of those videos. That VMS board must have gone up some time in the last year or so, I guess.

Lol I think they need to go with:

YO, YOU’RE GONNA HIT THIS SHIT, YES YOU!

Yeah, that’s new (I think this year), while they removed the sign with the flashing lights.

The flashing sign is on the other side.

I’ll make that sign. Vigilante law is taking over.

We should stage a mini Oppo meetup.

That’s a good plan.
