There are good elements to this simply designed site, including a thorough history of the bridge, a nice photo gallery, a poetry section, and a live camera. The enthusiastic homepage of Brooklyn's proud borough president, Howard Golden, is filled with interesting Brooklyn facts.
Information is quite thorough, although some areas are still under construction.
Don't be put off by the flashy homepage. This Brooklyn history page, brought to you by Brooklyn Online, offers a wealth of interesting facts and useful information. The layout of the index page is not great, and don't expect a thorough chronological catalogue, but the articles themselves are well written and designed. Great historic photographs, drawings, and posters supplement almost every section of the site. Be sure to check out the Historic Maps area for incredibly detailed, clickable maps.
