There is a bridge — a pair of bridges actually — over the Mohawk River connecting Albany and Saratoga counties in upstate New York.
Its proper name is the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge, but everyone just says “the Twin Bridges.”
Years pass now between opportunities to cross the Twin Bridges, but when I do, I know I’m home. It’s a place that Thomas Wolfe will be forever remembered as having said you can’t go to again.
I’m testing Mr. Wolfe’s theory. At least, temporarily.
For the next six days, I’ll be away from Chattanooga, visiting not one, but two places I call home.
