Cool. I kind of forgot about those days.
The only other times I passed through S.I. were when my Dad decided to visit my mother’s family in Brooklyn by going south through Elizabeth over the Goethals Bridge, driving through Staten Island, and over the Verrazano. He wanted to see the bridge. The usual, and shorter route, was through the Holland Tunnel into lower Manhattan. I don’t remember it all that well.
I can’t imagine there being a time when there was no bridge. :)
I like looking at pictures of it being built.
We WOPs Poured over that bridge from brooklyn when it was built.
The Irish that were already here hated that it was built lol
