5 months ago@jimmycallahan When it opened in 1883, not only was it the longest suspension bridge in the world, but the two standards holding it up were the two tallest man-made structures in all of the Americas. People were freaked out and didn't want to use it, so P.T. Barnum marched 21 elephants and 17 camels across it to prove it's stability. We lived just down the street in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
