Okay on a day off I went looking for a few things. I got an old stone arch bridge that used to carry Verona Road over Quigley Creek. It's only one lane wide and would have been torn down and replaced a long time ago, but they moved the road to straighten it out. So now the bridge is on the Rosedale VFD property. It's kind of overgrown and hard to see, and I couldn't down into the creek to shoot the actual arch the way I wanted. But it's a hundred years old or more, and it's still there. So, it will be around in the fall, when the leaves are not so heavy.
I went to the local library to try to sort out the location of some no longer existing structures, but the people and materials at the library are close to useless. I'll try Carnegie Library, they seem to understand the function of history.

Too bad about your local library experience. As a longtime public librarian/director, I hate to hear about such failings. Rest assured that we're not all bad! ;-} If you're ever in Egypt (Luxor) between October and April come look me up at the Chicago House egyptology library and I'll show you how real public service works...
