Once I got to Bridge Street, I got a little more creative while taking pictures. I started moving closer to the water, climbing on rails, walls, and whatever was in my way. With the exception of the renovations from the Army Corp of Engineers (buildup along Naugatuck River, bridges, etc...), I perceived that much of the landscape around me was minimally changed through the years. It presented such a beautiful sight to see.

   The Naugatuck River has somewhat of an 'occasional moody temperment', in that, the water level has been known to rise and fall in coordination with rainfall - but at higher/lower than expected levels. I suppose this would sound logical, anyway - however, the water level itself is quite noticable during these occasions. So, while I looked east from across the river, I could envision how it looked years ago, just by the observations of the older buildings on the other bank.

   Along the way, I would stop, climb (if I felt the need to), snap the picture. Bridge Street had been rebuilt over 50 years ago, since the old one was washed away from the flood - the nuance of the buildings remaining reamins...

   You'll also notice from the map, Pershing Drive kinda "ends" just north of the bridge, along the west side. The road becomes Olsen Drive, which I continue to follow along the river.
