=============================

In beautiful downtown Syracuse, there is an amazingly huge piece of modern sculpture, made of concrete and steel.
Either that, or there's a monstrosity of a modern highway, comprised of crumbling concrete and rusting steel, that divides this dying city, preventing it from healthy growth.

Kinda depends on the way you look at it.
For me, the downtown interchange of Interstate Route 81 and local Route 690 is an amazingly odd engineering feat that can look quite beautiful, and interesting, and somewhat haunting at night.
Whether it helps or hurts the city of Syracuse, I do not know.
It probably is a draw.

Here is a series of photos, Under the Overpass, taken late Thursday night, August 21, 2008, as I walked home, after having taken the bus from the NY State Fair to downtown.
The mostly amber photos were taken without flash.
The ones with grayish (or even blue) concrete were shot with flash.
