	HistoryLink Essay:Now & Then -- Seattle's Fremont Bridge
		Fremont found itself both in the center of the city and far from it.
		In 1903, Fremont was still a dry town, being within the four-mile circle of sobriety which then surrounded the University of Washington and protected the temperance of its students.
		But for those in grace, this repeated and relaxed drawing of the Fremont Bridge may be an intimation of a heaven which, for all we know, is filled with bascule bridges performing for the souls of those confirmed in Fremont.

		Because metal bridge grating can be like ice for bicycles, Hiller and I are on a separate, concrete-coated path, the kind of bike path that can be found on all three of the bikable bridges that crisscross the ship canal between Lake Washington and Shilshole Bay--the Montlake Bridge, the Fremont Bridge, and the Ballard Bridge.
		Bridges are potent metaphors, usually employed to signal an uplifting connection between opposing forces, but Hiller likes to employ Seattle's bridges as a metaphor for disconnect.
		He believes the design of the city's bridges is a good metaphor for the wide gulf that exists between the consideration given to the needs of automobiles and the consideration given to the needs of bikers.

		It is the lowest drawbridge in Seattle, and according to the Seattle DOT, is the most frequently opened drawbridge in the United States, due principally to its low clearance.
		The Fremont Bridge was actually first opened soon after midnight on Friday June 15, 1917, first to "owl cars" - the last run of the trolley's '- and then after 5am the same day to pedestrians and all other traffic.
