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
I can see how you might feel that way. Have you ever seen those near of the century black and white movies of lower Manhattan, with people walking over the Brooklyn Bridge? Staten Island used to be pretty isolated.
I had cousins who moved to a new house in Canarsie. They thought it was the country.
