message: The article states "A New Year's Eve tradition was to try to run across the Long Bridge in the time it takes for the bells at nearby St. Mary's church to chime midnight." The bridge looks long indeed, too long to be run within the time of tolling. Could we have a modification to something like this: "A New Year's Eve tradition was to try to run across the Long Bridge (x meters) in the time it takes for the bells at nearby St. Mary's church to chime midnight (about x seconds.)"
Also the article uses the past tense. Is a race still held? WikiParker (talk) 14:22, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
