On the bridge over the traintracks on Somerset Street

There is a bridge on Somerset Street which passes over the O-train tracks. The O train tracks terminate at the Prince of Wales Bridge which crosses the Ottawa River. Robert Tape at 989 Somerset was a precision machine shop built on stilts with a funky little ramp on the bridge for parking.  The Musca winemaking supply company is a testament to the nearby Preston Street area which is an important node for the Italian community here in Ottawa. Both of these buildings are on the north side of the bridge. My landlord fo many years was named Musca and I believe the apartment we lived in was where he raised his family many years ago.
