Having walked over this bridge from Kindergarten until graduation from the sixth grade and driving over it at least a thousand times, it was a treat to see it come up as a page on Google. Thanks for submitting it. As a matter of accuracy, the bridge carried traffic on West 11th Street, not 13th.
Sincerely,
Grant
