Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Science, Technology, History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Building The Story Bridge A decade of building major bridge infrastructure projects in Brisbane cemented Sir Manuel Richard Hornibrook (often known as ‘MR’) as a pioneering Queenslander into the history of the state. A self-starter who built the family business with his brothers, MR gained contracts all along the Brisbane River from wharves to terminals to wool stores and more. The company became known for bridge building and enterprise and gained the biggest contracts offered in the history of the state. The Grey St/William Jolly Bridge, the Hornibrook Highway, and the Story Bridge were all opened between 1932 and 1940, opening up land, business, communication, and connecting people back and forth across a rapidly growing city and across Moreton Bay to Redcliffe from Sandgate. Exactly when was the Story Bridge built? Its construction commenced in 1935 and concluded in 1940 when the bridge opened for the first time to a crowd of 37,000 people.

I believe this picture was taken in Memorial Stadium. I don't think Nebraska had a dedicated track facility prior to 1975 when Ed Weir Track was built.

Under the east section of the stadium there is a small track. They had meets there during inclement weather. I remember going there with my father. As I recall, they did everything but pole vault due to the low ceiling. Its been about 10 years since I've been in the "mushroom gardens" as it was called. Before Ed Weir, they ran outdoor meets inside the stadium proper. You'd run straight along the east and west side of the football field, then run around the sweeping curves at the north and south ends. There used to be storage areas on the the north and south ends of the east and west stadiums. These areas stored the hurdles and gear the meets needed. I remember seeing javelins, shots, discus, being stored in the equipment room in the north stadium building that had the clock on it. That building is gone now.

Here is a little additional information on the "mushroom gardens", and the rec center that replaced them. media.www.dailynebraskan.com/media/storage/paper857/news/...
