Indian Summer At Guth's Bridge ...

“Each golden day was cherished to the full, for one had the feeling that each must be the last. Tomorrow it would be winter.”

Fall foliage blends with temperatures in the 70s on a beautiful early November afternoon to create a quintessential Indian Summer day at Manassas Guth Covered Bridge.

The bridge crosses the Jordan Creek in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. The historic wooden bridge was constructed in 1858 and rebuilt in 1882. It is a 108-foot long Burr Truss Bridge with vertical siding. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is part of Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

The bridge is also known as Guth’s Covered Bridge and Guth’s Bridge.

 

Cool Keys In The City ...

The new Public Piano waits to be played along the new SouthSide Urban Arts Trail Nov. 8, 2020 at Third and Fillmore Streets, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Anyone is welcome to sit down and tickle the ivories or listen to the music that weaves into the street rhythm of South Side Bethlehem.

The piano features the art of local artist Christopher Colon and is sponsored by The Lehigh Valley Chamber Main Street Foundation, Northampton Community College Fowler Family SouthSide Center, the SouthSide Arts District Design Committee and Wegmans Food Markets.

The project was a venture of the SouthSide Arts District, an initiative of the Bethlehem Economic Development Corporation.

A sign of the times in the age of COVID-19, a spray bottle of hand sanitizer sits atop the piano.

A street piano is a piano placed in a public area that encourages passersby to stop and play.
