Cardboard Cutouts

This actually came to mind because of the dream I had last night. There was a lot more to the dream than what I'll discuss here, but then those parts don't make a difference for the ideas that came to fruitation (tition?) because of it. You probably have atleast one old bridge in your are that isn't used. It might not even be that old, maybe 40 years? maybe less. There's a road here that has a few homes on it, a lot of foliage, and a bridge that has fallen to rot and decay. It's not even passable anymore, with parts missing. It's been quite sometime since I've visited that road, but it's a picturesque little area. There's another little area as well, it's not so much a bridge but it's a road not used either. You can clearly see it from the newer, main road though. In any case, what if we took those bridges and made facade homes on them? Nothing ugly or modern. Little cookie cutter homes, perhaps Victorian or Gothic in style. I myself wouldn't mind a few English style cookie cutter facades. Obviously, these wouldn't be habitable. The idea isn't exactly new. There's a railway system somewhere, I want to say in London, with a facade home that covers the ugliness of the rail. **In the dream I had, a friend and I were joy riding when we came across several consecutive bridges with these style homes on them. They were above the highway, and lent peace to an otherwise hurried place. It was beautiful**
