death by bay bridge

The Berkeley Municipal Pier used to extend 3.5 miles into the bay. Used as part of an auto ferry system between the east bay and San Francisco from 1927 until 1939.

The opening of the Bay Bridge was the pier's undoing.

Oh internet and your flooding of images. Let's face it we all seek inspiration from each other. I used to be protective of my eye candy but honestly it's in cyberspace- game on for everyone. It's more important what newness you chose to create from stimulation instead of emulation.

That being said I've joined the Pinterest bandwagon. Ugh.
