The Cathedral Today
As this is one of the more recent changes that happened, you’ve probably already heard about this. The beloved Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France tragically burnt up in April 2019. This event took the world’s breath away; nobody could believe it.
With sad times come determined people; just two days after the tragedy, over $1 billion was donated to help rebuild. There truly are some generous people in the world who are willing to help when the community needs them to.
The Old Tappan Zee Bridge
The original Tappan Zee Bridge, which connects New York to New Jersey, was built in 1955. The Tappan Zee Bridge was built to help people cross the Hudson River at one of its widest points, 25 miles (40 km) north of Midtown Manhattan, from Grand View-on-Hudson to Tarrytown.
The Tappan Zee Bridge got its unique moniker because it is named for an American Indian tribe from the area called “Tappan”; and zee being the Dutch word for “sea”.
