The Bridge

In case you missed it, Thursday marked the 79th anniversary of the beginning of construction on the Golden Gate Bridge. Jumpers by Tad Friend is one of the most powerful stories you’ll ever read about the stunning—and deadly— landmark, and Don’t Jump! by Mary Roach is a fantastic story about what happens after a person leaps off the bridge. 

Check out the song that Carrie Brownstein of Portlandia wrote about Tad Friend’s piece here!

Enjoy the reading and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
