Where I grew, if you climbed up on the roof, you could see Canada.  Once or twice as I kid, my friends and I did this and we could see the Ambassador Bridge crossing from Detroit into Windsor, Ontario.  Soon I realized how much I liked to gaze at suspension bridges, especially at night.  Then I went to northern Michigan and saw the Mackinac Bridge.  Wow, what a beautiful setting and an impressive bridge!  Then I moved to Portland and saw the St. John’s Bridge, engineered earlier by the same engineer that did the Mackinac Bridge.  Now, I ride my bike over the St. Johns Bridge as often as I can and stop wherever I am to view it!  Love the St Johns!
