POLAND The historic Riverside Cemetery Bridge will have a marker this year, declaring it part of the National Register of Historic Places.
The marker is being made and once it is placed, local historians plan a dedication ceremony.
These National Register of Historic Places roadside markers appear across the nation. The Riverside Cemetery Bridge was added to the registry in 1983 along with the historic South Main Street area, which was added in 1974. Neither one had a marker until now, thanks to local historian Dave Smith.
“I am the one who wrote the application for the bridge marker,” Smith said.
Friday fishing report for Alabama
Updated Feb 19, 2021;
Brutally cold weather all but shut down fishing across the northern half of the state this past week, but a forecast for much warmer days and nights ahead should finally turn the corner in what has been a long, slow winter for bass anglers.
Captain Mike Gerry reports from Guntersville that the nights in the teens pushed bass out of pre-spawn mode and into deep ditches and creek beds, where his anglers caught a few dragging Carolina rigged worms on bottom, a few more on jigs and deep-diving SPRO crankbaits. Gerry says the warmer week ahead could see a very quick changeover to full pre-spawn mode in the bays and larger creeks, however, and suggests crankbaits and lipless vibrating lures like the Aruku Shad as a good way to find the fish; www.fishlakeguntersvilleguideservice.com.
