ON THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE. 2010.
Posted By Stacey on July 29, 2010
By Christophe Nayel aka D-XRISTO. On the George Washington Bridge. The George Washington Bridge (known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George) is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the Washington Heights neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City to Fort Lee in New Jersey. Interstate 95 and US Route 1/9 cross the river via the bridge. US Route 46, which is entirely in New Jersey, ends halfway across the bridge at the state border. The bridge has an upper level with four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (70 km/h), though congestion often slows traffic, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. A path on each side of the bridge’s upper level carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As of 2007, the George Washington Bridge has the greatest capacity of any bridge in the world, carrying approximately 106 million vehicles per year, making it the world’s busiest motor vehicle bridge, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey – the bi-state government agency that owns and operates several area bridges, tunnels, and airports.

Alexander Hamilton on a National Bank
Posted By Chloe on July 29, 2010
The First Bank of the United States was needed because the government had a debt from the Revolutionary War, and each state had a different form of currency. It was built while Philadelphia was still the nation’s capital. Alexander Hamilton conceived of the bank to handle the colossal war debt — and to create a standard form of currency. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and John Adams are also in this video.
