pretty cool that they're going to use part of the bridge structure to create fish habitat in the Chesapeake.

Yeah, huge waste of time. I was at the waterfront townhomes at Franklin St. at the edge of Jones Pt. Park, but you couldn't see anything through the trees (the only part over land being demolished). We kept wanting to go back to Washington St. over by the cemetery for a better view. Should have, because trespassers through the fence delayed the blastoff for 1/2 hr. :x
