"David Youngren began taking daily pictures of the changing riverfront at Hastings in 2010. He started a facebook page and invited others to follow along the four-year journey of the construction of the new bridge, The Arches, and the calculated demolition of the old bridge, Old Blue. In this publication, he has culled the photo collection to highlight the best views, the most memorable moments, and the modern engineering marvels it took to create the new crossing at Hastings. He also briefly describes his childhood-fueled enthusiasm for life along the riverfront, his passion for the town's bridges, and what brought him to this bend in the river"----P. 4 of cover.
