Simple. It looked much like the work of the guy who designed the Brooklyn Bridge. I'd seen one of his other (very small) bridges in PA somewhere, and it's amazing how he has a certain style. I had to use Google to find his name, because I had forgotten it. Roebling. Once I had his name, I did a Google image search on his name and "suspension bridge." A bridge that looked very similar to your picture kept popping up, but the tower spires were different. It wasn't until I read about that bridge and the refurbishing of it in the 90's that I figured it was the same. Once I found an old picture, I knew it was.

In January of 1991, I lived in Arlington, VA, sharing a town house with 3 buddies from college. I spent all my extra money going out to bars on the weekend. I hadn't met my wife yet. I worked at the same place I am now, but was only a temp. It would be two more months until they hired me.
