SO many Of our new homes have
been constructed in recent years.
Actually this fringe develop
ment is principally urban growth
which has been freed from
limitations of location and dis
tance formerly dictated by the
streetcar line, the horse-drawn
carriage, and the physical en-
durance of human legs.
These suburban or fringe
areas contain some 81 million
people, or less than one half as
many as reside within corporate
municipal boundaries.
The fact is that oar cities are
continuing to grow, though at a
slower rate than formerly, and
that growth is creating a some
what different city pattern. char
acterized by more openness and
irregularity.
This pattern is being built
into new industrial. commercial
and residential areas of cities.
Moreover, we are just beginning
the mammoth job of revamp1ng

Bridge Itself
Is Attraction

RICHMOND, va.-A Virginia
attraction that is relatively new
to the travel scene In the Old
Dominion is the George P. Cole
man Memorial Bridge at York
town and Gloucester Point.
The gigantic bridge spans the
York River quite majestically
and in its shadows lie some of
the finest historic attractions in
the State.
To cross the bridge itself is an
experience, providing the motor
ist a skyline ride which allows q
panoramic view of much of that
historic area. 1t is the worlds
largest double-span swing bridge.
The bridge is on U. S. Route II,
which swings southwark from
along the banks of the Kappa
hammock River to Gloucester
Point, across to Yorktown and
across the James River to Ports
mouth an the South.
There are many routes - mo-
torist can take to get to the
bridge, but he should travel
through Gloucester Courthouse
to see the old inclosed county
government buildings. The road
there circles right around the
square. in which several build
ings are inclosed by brick wall,
including debtors prison. Very
few of these squares still exist
in this country, although it is
interesting to note that there is
now a trend in modern traffic
engineering toward building
traffic circles.
