I've had a thing for that bridge ever since 'Once Upon a Time in Amercia'.

Gotta see those fireworks.

I hope that in the not too-distant-future, this city will return to the can-do, forward-looking spirit that built such great public (as well as private) works.

incredibly, what rob said.

Eight years after 9/11. 130 Liberty still stands.

on 9/11 was stuck in traffic on the Manhattan Bridge when the first plane struck the Tower. Would have been toast if they had decided the bridge was a better target.
