The innocent wedding announcement that’s been on Beta Bridge has been adulterated with a phallic symbol and insinuations of homosexuality (kind of the opposite of the original message): Complete with Starr Hill stickers. This photo is the first I’ve posted which was taken with my new iPhone 4S, which I have to say produces better… [Read more…]

With many students gone for the holiday break, it’s been slow on the bridge, but here we have what looks like a wedding announcement:
December 22, 2011
Just one picture today, showing that someone tried to paint the bridge for (princess?) Abby’s birthday, but it got a little rained out, and also that there was a guy stranded on the bridge with a very flat tire:

Both sides of the bridge today were partially repainted to cover up the recent USC markings. On the west side, a can was left: The east side gets bitter, even covering up old birthday wishes to satisfy vengeance in a sports rivalry: The strangest thing I saw today is the massive sand pile covering what looks like… [Read more…]

Over the weekend the countdown went to zero: And besides changing “Good luck on finals” to “Have a good break,” there were a few random additions adorning the west side compared to the original: Among those random additions, encouragement to “Be awesome”: There was also a prominent addition to the sidewalk: I was trying to… [Read more…]

Today is the final day of finals for UVA’s fall semester, which is reflected in the countdown on the west side: No other new paint besides that, but I thought some recent splatters on the ground looked interesting:

…before the end of finals: Good job Elizabeth and Amy (presumably?) for keeping this updated! ———————– Update (~11:15pm): sometime between 7:30 and 11pm the countdown was changed to 1 day left. Picture coming tomorrow.
December 14, 2011
The only new paint on the bridge today was someone (the original painter(s)?) updating the countdown on the Pooh painting from 5 days to 3 left until the end of finals. Let’s see if it goes to 2 tomorrow. Instead of a bridge picture, I took pictures of some other paint nearby, such as this… [Read more…]

E., your friends were quite brave to paint this in the cold: Yesterday’s Pooh Bear painting stayed up, so I decided to do something special with yesterday’s image and turn it into a wee planet: Also, as of today, my self-deprecating stat counter says this site has been been viewed over 10,000 times!: Thanks to… [Read more…]

After a lull last week, we have two new paintings today. On the west side, moral support for students during final exams is coming from… somewhat surprisingly none other than Winnie the Pooh: Now that’s sage advice from a bear. The anonymous painter(s) put forth great effort to accurately recreate Pooh, including gold paint for… [Read more…]

Allow me to put any rumors to rest: no new painting of Beta Bridge has been done in connection with the recent events at VT in Blacksburg. Because of cold/wet weather and finals, there have been no new paintings this week. It’s still the gift wrap on the west side, and HIV/AIDS awareness on the… [Read more…]

Over the weeekend, a painting about HIV/AIDS awareness week in Virginia: Stamp of approval from Bob McDonnell.

Happy 21st to Margot: On the west side, some kind of Christmas banquet: Nice gift wrap style on the painting. Also notice there is another photographer on the bridge (not me). Although she wasn’t taking pictures of the bridge, probably just the train tracks. As noted earlier this week, today is World AIDS Day. Obama… [Read more…]
