Two homes with a working set of rail road tracks between their front yards and the street they face towards - smudged the picture in one part so as to obscure the address...

...does it seem odd to anyone else that this is considered a municipal road? Are there not minimum standards for road construction or maintenance?

Difficult to say if the street or railroad was there first - these homes were there in 1949...

Nope, this one is closer to the core. There are eight of these in the general vicinity.

There are a handful of small buffalo statues behind the old courthouse on 7th Ave but I'm not sure if there are any heads attached to the building...

That was my first guess, but streetview showed anything around there wouldn't match the colours. Nice puzzle though, i wouldn't have thought of the bridge.

Yeah - streetview didn't help around the courthouse. I wouldn't have thought of the bridge either.

Isn't that in the beltline somewhere? Oh wait ... I'm mixing it up with that white plastic bubble thing, which so reminds me of the nature we've paved over.
