Brooklyn Bridge 125th Anniversary Celebration
Mayor Bloomberg and Brooklyn Borough President Marty “Marky Mark” Markowitz announced a five day celebration planned to honor the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. The event will be held between May 22nd and 26th. Surprisingly the celebration will not include the addition of tolls on the Bridge to further hurt NYC’s middle and lower class, but rather concerts, films, bike tours, fire works and a special lighting of the bridge through Memorial day. I’m still weary that this event is only happening to distract the people from some evils about to occur like Commodus did with the 100 days of games in Gladiator, but I will try to put my paranoias aside and wish the greatest of all bridges and city landmarks a Happy 125th!
