Bay Ridge MASSIVE!

Verrazano Narrows Bridge

As most now, I live in the part of Brooklyn known as Bay Ridge. I really like it. It's right by the water, there are families. It's pretty low-key. There's also a lot of history in this region, which I didn't know about until a bike ride along the shore.

Of course, there's the massive Verrazano Narrows Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Staten Island. At first, I thought it was the LONGEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD. However, I've recently found out that it's the longest bridge in the USA.

Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok. I have put up with your ridiculously bold statements and largely exaggerated factoids for too long.
The Verrazano Narrows Bridge is the longest SUSPENSION BRIDGE in the United States. The longest bridge in the United States is some 36388 METERS (yes, meters) longer than the Verrazano. Another little fact for you and your friends: the span of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge is exactly 1,298 meters longer than your junk. (Just kidding, word on the street is your junk is MASSIVE!)
