I can imagine the Blues Brothers (Dan Ackroyd & John Belushi) making the leap over one of those bridges in their Bluesmobile.

Cool! Great coverage!

[@Darealyst07]

Yeah Whatever with that Chicago has the Most movable bridges in the world, but yet have the most RAGGEDY, Poorly maintained roads I have ever driven on. it's like driving on the damn moon with those Craters(potholes).And to see folks out there happier than a child at Mickey Land about an ole antique bridge opening.. no wonder why they brag on Chicago, it really don't take much to please them. Instead of visiting Chicago, you'll come out better just staying at home watching children of the corn...
