Golden Gate Bridge Under Construction, San Francisco, California
Historic 1930s PhotoThere are hundreds and hundreds of photos in the SF Public Library archive showing the Golden Gate (as well as the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge) under construction. If you are a bridge fan, a history fan, or just someone who drives over the bridges daily, I urge you to check them out. I’ll be posting dozens here but truly there are hundreds of pics.

Banjo and dog.
“…The advance of the banjo began when it was taken up by the ladies. One famous Boston banjoist, Caroline Nichols, said: ‘What makes me boil to the roots of my hair is that we play like girls.
