:) Good thread. I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, and underneath the Manhattan Bridge on the Brooklyn side briefly when I was in NY. I can't wait until I get my head above water financially enough to justify going back. There is no darn way in the world that you can properly see even a fraction of New York in three days. I have a bit of a fantasy about one day living there, though I don't know if that will ever actually happen.

Tacoma has the twin Narrows Bridges. Travel by car between the center of town and Gig Harbor only takes five or ten minutes. It would take hours if those bridges weren't there. Heck, not that long ago it was scientifically impossible to cross the Mississippi. |
^ Good points. Together with the subways, the bridges of New York are the glue that ties the city together.

i never knew this thread existed and it is absolutely incredible..............but there is no way you can confuse the Verrazano with the Whitestone or any other similar looking bridge. The Verrazano is an exquisite , awe inspiring structure. Other then the Golden Gate Bridge, this one is King:worship:
|
Yes but Hellgate's is more similar, because of the stone structures at the ends. Sydney's bridge has those.

a friend of mine who lives in Jersey told me there was talk of replacing the Bayonne as the traffic deck sits too low to allow certain types of vessels through and it is hampering economic growth. anyone know anything about that? it would be a shame, that's quite a beautiful bridge
