The  Williamsburg Bridge  is a suspension bridge in New York City over the  East River , connecting Brooklyn’s  Williamsburg area  to the  Lower East Side  in Manhattan at Delancey Street, and was the second one built across the East River. Built in 1903, it was the  longest suspension bridge in the world  at the time at over 1000 feet long .  Currently the bridge transports about 140,000 motorists, 92,000 transit riders, 600 bikers and 500 pedestrians between the two boroughs.

Solomon's  Island is a major boating center located at the mouth of the Patuxent River, in southern Calvert County, Maryland.  The island is about an hour and a half drive from Washington DC or two hours from Baltimore.  Originally called  Bourne's Island  (1680), then Somervell's Island (1740), Solomons takes its name from 19th century  Baltimore  businessman Isaac Solomon, who established a cannery there shortly after the  Civil War . Solomon's home still stands on the front of the island.   The area has been inhabited since colonial times. The town now welcomes tourists with numerous marinas, seafood restaurants, gift shops, a boardwalk, a sculpture garden, the  Calvert Marine Museum  where visitors can climb atop a former lighthouse, harbor cruises, and occasional famous performer concerts outdoors. Solomons also has three major hotels, three bed & breakfast inns, a  U.S. Navy  family recreation center, and a church retirement home.  St. Peter's Chapel
