When a famous bridge is scheduled to be torn down and replaced, people from all over gather to honor the beloved landmark. But to one woman, once a little girl, it's more than just a bridge. It's a friendly face and comforting structure she grew up caring about. When the busy bridge came down, she said farewell to her old friend before it got the break it deserved.
