Today in 1937

My mother would always tell me not to "burn a bridge". Meaning, don't tick someone off - you may never know when your paths will cross again. The older I become the more I see what she means. Today, we celebrate a bridge. This bridge would be very difficult to burn.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened on this day (May 27) 1937. FYI - the first day was for pedestrians only. There are some cool sites on the Golden Gate Bridge:

Golden Gate Bridge site: Has general information and cool web cam - fog and all.

Golden Gate Bridge site/Historical Photos: Cool old photos.

Golden Gate Bridge site/Virtual Walk: No...really.

History Channel: General history and background.
