Cool little local story ,they're building a footbridge in buffalo and using the Erie barge canal to transport the bridge sections the last leg of the journey from Italy. I've grown up with the canal in my neighborhood so the history of it from construction to being a major highway for goods since it was built is taught in our school. We're camped out in the inlaws back yard this morning to watch it come by.
Strange coincidence … I was just reading this on BBC before I came to vital and saw your post …like deja vu all over again …

That is very cool.
Wondering why canal in the title got censored?
Speaking of canals....there is an interesting show on Amazon about a guy who goes thru a divorce, sells everything, buys a narrow boat and travels the canals of England. (which I had no idea even existed)

The show might be considered "slow" by some. But that's the point. It is oddly entertaining and fascinating.
I'm going to assume it automatically got censored because anal is part of the word.
I remember a thread being censored for the word assumption because ass was part of it.

Bizarre to censor such words. A bit anal-retentive if you ask me.
Erie had a lot of potential. Now it's the mistake by the lake.
