    Crossing the Throgs Neck

    2 Eylül 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F

    In no time at all we were crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge. There's no traffic so far. I hope that trend continues.
    The Throgs Neck Bridge connects the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx to the Bay Terrace area in Queens. The name “Throg’s Neck” or “Throggs Neck” is derived from John Throckmorton, who established his colony in the area in 1643. In referencing the land, both spellings of the name, with either one of two “G’s,” are accepted. However, the older and more established residents (pre-1960’s) generally tend to go for two “G’s.”
    On the other hand, the Throgs Neck Bridge is definitely spelled with one “G” thanks to master builder, Robert Moses, who wanted to save money with sign costs. According to Bronx Historian, Lloyd Ultan, the name change meant less paint had to be used on all the signs.
