LinkLinksOpinion Philip Kennicott in The Post: Capital crossings — Washington is a city of great bridges and terrible bridges. These are their stories. By Editor On Apr 1, 2021 Last updated Apr 1, 2021 151 Share On my first day living in Washington, I crossed the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge and saw the best of the city laid out like a panorama of postcard views — the Kennedy Center, the Washington and Lincoln memorials, and the necklace of green parkland along the Potomac River. I assumed that life in the city would be centered on the river below me, that I would walk daily along its banks and perhaps, from time to time, float on its placid expanse. Surely, water would shape my mental map of Washington, as the left and right banks of the Seine make sense of Paris, or as the bridges of London give form to the city’s sprawl. 151 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
