Wow ... so nearby. Chances are this spot is now a shopping plaza, or part of Xerox.

Geneva had devastating tornadoes in 1955 and 1983, but the glass plate makes me think this was earlier than either.

It was about 1910. You will see by the clothes that it was not 1955 or 1983 when you look at the photo next to it.

Try this link: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CE7DD113AE633A... June 24, 1912, a crowd of 400 people, many women and children, rushed on to a pier after a day of picnic-ing, the pier collapsed and threw some 250 into the water (but they did not all die). The water was relatively fast moving, some drowned and some were swept downstream in the current. About 20 were estimated to have perished. Location is near Niagra Falls.

In 2007 prior to the 2nd Tacoma Narrows Bridge being officially opened to motor vehicles, they held a run finishing and ending on the bridge with all the participants receiving a 'I Ran the Span' T-shirt. Somebody came up with this clever T-shirt for the original I Ran the Span... [http://www.flickr.com/photos/suspensionstayed/4228320351/in/photostream]
