[1]It is not everyday I dedicate a post to a bridge, but not every bridge is the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Brdige turns 125 today. A celebration is in order, Brooklyn Daily Eagle [2]:
BROOKLYN — In 1883, New Yorkers and Brooklynites took the first step toward uniting their two cities when the Brooklyn Bridge, then called the East River Bridge, opened to the public, bringing to life the dreams and plans of John and Washington Roebling.
At the time, the bridge was for walkers, cable cars and horse-drawn vehicles, to be joined in time by an elevated line that some people still remember and, of course, by cars.
