A Visit to Downtown Ashtabula, Ohio

Cars & trucks cross the Ashtabula River on the Bascule Lift Bridge.  

When the counterweight on the left goes down, the bridge deck rises to let boats continue on the river.

A Coast Guard Boat sits at anchor.  The Coast Guard patrols Lake Erie and the other four Great Lakes.

& me.

This section of the river was home to several industries that polluted the waterway.  Following the adoption of the Clean WaterAct in 1972, this section of the Ashtabula River was dredged and toxic sediment was removed.  The reclaimed area is beautiful!

A walk along Bridge Street...

Eric & I like Ashtabula's early

20th century buildings.

The tower on the building on

 the left is stately.

I like the cornice work 

at the rooflines of the

buildings.
