This is a short history of the Brooklyn Bridge The Band They Might Be Giants Is a good example of a poplar group from Brooklyn

The Bridge that I chose was the Brooklyn Bridge The bridge was completed in 1883, I connects new york Boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the east river. The bridge was created to route traffic and make travling faster. The bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the united states. it was also the first steel wire suspension bridge. the bridge was 5,989 feet (1825m) long. The bridge cost 15.5 million dollars to build! And on top of that twenty seven workers died just while it was being built! Damn. The bridge was primarily made of steel and concrete. The bridge was the first steel wire suspension bridge ever, so they had to come up with the blueprints from scratch. The bridge too thirteen years of construction to finally complete. In june 26, 2008 Olafur Eliasson constructed waterfalls between the brooklyn bridge and the otehr bridge to make new york citizens more connected with eh earth and nature. The waterfalls ran from 7am to 10pm until October 13th, 2008.
