Over this last weekend my wife and I went to Pasadena California to attend the "Bridge Party". Now, the Bridge Party is a fundraising opportunity for the Pasadena Heritage which has as it's mandate "Saving our Past for the Future". The Bridge in this case is the Colorado Street bridge which goes across the "Arroyo" area of Pasadena. This bridge is commonly known as "Suicide Bridge" to the locals as many people have used it to jump because it is so high and you can walk across it. Beyond that the bridge has appeared in many commercials, television shows and movies. it is truly beautiful.
I have made a few photographs of the bridge or on the bridge. Getting ready to go to Pasadena I looked in my archives and found these photos.
This one is circa 1993 or so.
The one below is about 1978. Notice this is the older version of the bridge.
It was rebuilt after the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989.
There were bands, food and libations all along the bridge to keep you occupied while just enjoying the weather. This Bridge Party was great fun and I recommend everyone go next time.
