Just a sidebar comment regarding the Bridge:
Speaking of Taj Mahal's (of which the county usually gets the dubious
distinction when building things):
That bridge is the shortest suspension bridge in America, the plaques on
the bridge are pure somethhing (somebody told me gold once- but I don't
believe that).
And guess who was Chair of the Board when they did that project...
you got it! our friend, John Derus.
A little tidbit of info,
Another little tidbit is that bridge was so well planned and designed that,
despite being the shortest suspension bridge in America, they can not hold
street dances on it as was originally talked about during construction
because it turns out that the "harmonic resonance" created by all those
dancing feet could cause the bridge to collapse.
I hope this isn't indicative of the planning for a football field on a
postage stamp they are trying to shoehorn onto the island.
