The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.
~David Russell
A piece of Grand Rapids history:
The Massillon Bridge Company of Ohio built the $31,000, four-span Sixth Street Bridge for Grand Rapids in 1886. The rust-resistant wrought iron used in its Pratt trusses accounts for its durability. In 1975 the bridge was slated for demolition, but concerned citizens convinced authorities to save it. This structure is the longest, oldest remaining metal bridge in Michigan, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

I like to cross as many bridges as possible and never burn any of them behind me.
