    What bridge is this?

    Ok, little competition here...


    What's its name, and what city is it located in?

    Well done.

    I'll give you the British and American flags and the palm trees in the background give it away a little - but I would suspect not many people know about it unless they've been there.

    I wonder if they realised when they said "London Bridge" that they were actually getting the London Bridge and not the Tower bridge.

    Actually, I didn't see the flags at first..... only after I replied did I see them. I've been there. Was passing through the area a few years back, saw the signs and decided to take a small detour to see it.... was kinda cool. My first thought was "This is it?" ..... I'll probably take the family one of these days.

    Considering they had submitted their plan to move it, I would say they knew which bridge they were getting.

    But they'll probably take the tower bridge after the English are done with it and stick it next to some casino.

    I have a sister-in-law in California which is always talking about their annual boating trip to Lake Havasu, I never realized what a tourist spot it was. Guess I'll have to make a trip to Arizona one of these days.

    London Bridge isn't really a bridge. It's actually a railway station in London.
