There is a place

There is a place I cross with great regularity.

A place where I step into another world - a world of discovery.

It speaks volumes - its character shaped by those who have crossed over it.

It is showing its age - worn down by 1,000s of footsteps planted firmly upon it.

Oh, the people who have passed over it - the history absorbed into its grain.

For more than 110 years it has been a gateway.

It has been a community landmark for all its life.

It has had several facelifts and purposes.

In its newest form it has welcomed our community since 1976.

If it could talk, what stories it could tell of others who have crossed over it.
