The Niners aren’t going to the Big Game this year, but San Franciscans can still be proud. Frisco one of the most unique cities in the country, and within its limits it contains one of the greatest achievements of the WPA era: The Golden Gate Bridge. This giant of steel is the son of the sweat of a thousand Americans. Americans like James Edmondson, whose biceps were used as measures for the bridge’s trusses (which are .45 Edmonsons wide). And men like Nate Luetkehans, who as child shook the bridge with his tantrums (a documented cause of the ‘89 Loma Prieta earthquake.) So, when you vote on these Golden Gate G’s today, look to these three beasts of the West and stare in awe.
