Recalled Place

A place I recall with a good deal of memory is right underneath the North side of the 6^th Street Viaduct on the West bank of the Menomonee River. There was a unique effect of smoke rolling across the water. I could see this happening even down the curve of the river. I am not sure what was causing it but I assume it had something to do with some of the unusual industrial structures I could see around there. I remember they had some sort of odd shape but I don’t recall exactly what they were…domes perhaps? Next to me, affixed to a kind of concrete pillar at the foot of the bridge was a sign indicating that the area was dangerous because it was a MMSD wastewater overflow point. I think I became so interested in this, and thoughtful about what that meant that I didn’t think anymore about the source of the smoke or the large industrial buildings. There were several ducks and geese around in the smoky water. I recall being disappointed I was recording sound and didn’t have anything to capture an image of the smoke on the water.
