| | Bay Ridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Way down south at the end of the R train is Bay Ridge, a traditionally Scandinavian community that's now more Irish and Italian (with a smattering of Russians and Arabs), although the annual Norwegian Independence Day Parade on May 17 still remains. |
 | | This slender, beautiful span was, until Britain's Humber Bridge opened, the world's longest at 4260 feet – so long, in fact, that the tops of the towers are visibly an inch or so out of parallel to allow for the curvature of the earth. |
 | | After that, you can turn back, or follow the path to the end, turn left on Bay Parkway, and walk to the end of the B train. |
