-[double-decked suspension bridge] that connects the boroughs of ‘staten island’ + ‘brooklyn’ in ‘new york city’ at ‘the narrows’, the reach connecting the relatively protected ‘upper bay’ with the larger [lower bay]-
.
(named for ‘giovanni da verrazzano’)
(though it dropped the extraneous italian ‘z’)
(i believe ‘governor cuomo’ officially signed into law to ‘double up’ the ‘Z’)
*”VERRAZANO” –> “VERRAZZANO”*
*i’m not sure how i feel about this*
(it was changed to show respect to the explorer’s ‘italian heritage’)
(and not ‘americanizing’ the speling of the italian surname)
(on the other hand, just think of all the wasted energy devoted to adding a ‘Z’ which doesn’t change the pronunciation of the word anyway)
(at least according to ‘giovanni’ himself…)
(just taking up (2-dimesional) space)
(‘cuomo’ you say?)
(any relation to ‘rivers’?)
(starting point of the “new york city marathon”)
(the bridge marks the gateway to ‘new york harbor’)
.
(all ‘cruise ships’ (+ most ‘container ships’) arriving at the *port of ‘new york’ + ‘new jersey’* must pass underneath the ‘bridge’ and thus must be built to accommodate the clearance under the ‘bridge’)
