She had been taken on the Pulaski Skyway by her mom when it opened and passed the tradition down to me. I regret not being near a new bridge for my kids tho.

Considering that the bridge was built during the reign of Robert Moses, this is entirely unsurprising.

I've only been to NYC once, if I went back my first priority would be to take a helitour and get shots of the bridges. And then of course visit MIB HQ in the vent towers for the Holland Tunnel. Y'know, if you lived in NYC I bet it would be *believable* to think some of the citizens were aliens. I put an article on Othmar Amman’s bridges on my BBS:
