    You don't look a day over 70 Golden Gate Bridge. I just wish you'd shut the fuck up about the days when gas cost a nickel.

    I've been over it countless times but I've been here nearly 7 years and still have yet to walk it ... that changes this summer.

    Don't be fooled by the good looks of the Golden Gate though, the Bay Bridge is infinitely more important than the GG.

    Word. The Bay Bridge is turning 75 in a few months, it probably won't get the same props! I know I cross it more than any other bridge. The Golden Gate is quite beautiful, lovely art deco

    hop on a bike ... do the ride to sausalito ... check out the boathouses there ... take the boat taxi back to the terminal and have some prosciutto on a baguette ...

    my kind of day ...

    It's true- the Golden Gate is always dressed up and lookin' good but the Bay Bridge is the work horse of bay area bridges. But what they both share are gateways to one of the finest cities in the world!
