Tuesday was the 128th Anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. It is one of my favorite NYC sites–I wrote about my personal history with the bridge as part of the NEH Along the Shore workshop last summer. In that workshop I also learned that Irish immigrants protested the opening celebration of the bridge, as the date coincided with Queen Victoria’s birthday
For your enjoyment–a television commercial for the 100th anniversary, with appearances by some great ’80s characters.
