SAN FRANCISCO - Crowds gathered along San Francisco’s waterfront Sunday, while San Francisco Bay was crowded with pleasure boats, tugboats, and other vessels as the city celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.
“It’s such an
iconic structure.’’
Something "terrorists" might want to destroy so the "left" is brought back into the fold?
*************************************
In a stark contrast to the celebratory mood, members of the group the Bridge Rail Foundation, an organization dedicated to stopping suicide jumps from the bridge, erected a display of 1,558 pairs of shoes, representing the number of people who died in leaps from the bridge since it opened in 1937.
Meanwhile, Golden Gate ferries resumed runs after a one-day strike disrupted service across San Francisco Bay on Saturday.
Oh, so there WAS a PROTEST, 'eh?
Workers represented by the Inlandboatmen’s Union walked off the job on a day strike, forcing the cancellation of ferries operated by Golden Gate to Larkspur, Sausalito, and San Francisco.
The strike was called after nearly a year of negotiations over workloads and other matters, said Marina Secchitano, the union’s regional director.
Governor Jerry Brown issued a statement Saturday evening saying that he was appointing a board to investigate the strike, which, he said, created a disruption to public service.
I thought he was a Democrat and a friend of unions.
