Last week I asked readers to identify a photo of a covered bridge. Reader Gary Holesak guessed it right away. Gary wrote: "Red Covered Bridge along Forbidden Drive along the Wissahickon Creek about 1/2 mile below Bells Mill Rd." Congrats, Gary.  And thanks to everyone else who participated. Please be sure to check back next week for another round of "Then and Now."

The location of where this photo was taken is revealed.
