This morning, I had to go to Henry Ford Hospital to have blood work done, a Post Office to drop off a couple packages, and Whole Foods Market to blow like $70 in gift cards on food and nice body care supplies I wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. I was finished at the hospital around 8:40 and had a few minutes to kill before the Post Office on Milwaukee opened at 9:00, so I was able to detour a bit, pass a townhouse complex named for the real McCoy, and cross a pedbridge in an area that’s quite secluded considering its proximity to New Center, Midtown, and Henry Ford Hospital.

Eastbound approach. There is indeed a curb cut; it's just off camera to the bottom right.

View eastbound over the bridge. The red paint is a nice change from the usual blue or grey.

My bike and trailer on the bridge. I'm not usually going to take photos of my bike, but this is serious Reddit fodder right here.

View north. Henry Ford Hospital is to the left, and the big brick building to the right is the New Center U-Haul truck rental and storage facility.

View south towards downtown. You can just barely see the Renaissance Center on the horizon.
