In 1936, the East and West communities of the Bay Area came together like never before. While ferries had long carried people across the Bay's often choppy waters, automobiles were the future of transportation. This meant local residents wanted a quick way to drive between the rapidly growing cities of San Francisco and Oakland. As expected, as soon as the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was built in 1936, it immediately became the favorite way to travel between San Francisco and the East Bay.
Expected lifespan: 150 years
Daily average number of vehicles that use the Bay Bridge: 280,000
Daily average number of vehicles that use the Brooklyn Bridge:137,500 (5 years and 3480 days ago)

If you have a chance to come to my city, you definitely need to visit King's College. Founded by King Henry IV in 1414, the architecture shows one of the best example of late Gothic design. This college surrounded by a small medieval town, great for shopping or for sight seeing, you can go punting on a small river, fishing or even for a bbq at the river bank..words can't describe how beautiful this place is,because this is Cambridge.
