Bye Bye, Triborough Bridge!

[WampusCrandle]

it is being renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-11-19-kennedy-triborough-bridge_N.htm). i was actually gonna go to this, but i had class.

Don't lie, Wampus. You've never had an ounce of class.

[west milly Tom]

It cost the state 6 million to rename the bridge. Fiscal crisis, what fiscal crisis?

They should be. This is like a slap in the face!

[Tall_James]

Potholes Potholes are going to kill that thing.

it is like pissing on the memory of Mr. Triborough and forgetting all that he did for us.

just as terrible as the interboros

Is this the reason it costs $5 both ways to cross that damn thing? I like the thought, but everyone will still call it the Triborough. Does anyone refer to the West Side Highway as Joe Dimaggio Highway? No, no they dont.

Not quite Non-clappy hands post of the day, but I did get a chuckle.

Yeah, but everyone calls the Interboro the Jackie Robinson....hell there are kids that never even heard of the Interboro. BTW if you were going to have a highway named after you the interboro has got to be the worst.

Speaking of which - how many knew Outerbridge was a person?

I like the bridge being a Kennedy and all - er ah.

[drjoek]

What kind of mixed use bridge needs to span 3 boroughs? Greedy I say.

Oughta name it Chappaquidick. bridge

[DarkHippie]

Did they name it after Kennedy cause you wanna shoot someone after driving it?

[drjoek]

Kinda off topic but the guy who called in yesterday and said JFK was a redhead should get his own show
I think even Ron was impressed with that line

[Reephdweller]

Now you all know how Verrazanno felt when Narrows tried to muscle in on his bridge.
