Spruce Street Suspension Bridge

Built in 1912, this bridge was built to link the Banker's Hill neighborhood to newly built streetcar lines and give residents access to downtown. It is the only suspension footbridge in San Diego. Suspension bridges by design are very light and flexible, so when you walk across you can feel it moving and swaying from your weight. Click here to see a cool old photo of this bridge around 1915.

I think I prefer the 21st century bridge. It looks less scary. Good shot!

I swear my friend and I saw a ghost there one night. It was almost 10 years ago: a young man in a hooded sweatshirt who seemed to disappear, and then a little boy on a bicycle who seemed to appear and disappear, at two in the morning. Go figure!
