    Looks like the George Washington Bridge to me... American flags and soldiers, I'm thinking returning soldiers from WW1...

    Year: 1919
    Bridge: GWB
    Event: end of WW1

    The George Washington Bridge Opening:

    Military units and marching bands high-stepped their way from New York to New Jersey and back again, celebrating the opening of the bridge, Oct. 24, 1931.

    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
    From Kelly's Heroes (1970)


    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.
    From Electric Horseman (1979)

    Just do a Google image search for "george washington bridge opening".... you still need to know the bridge and event, so it still takes a good guess.

    Well, the GW Bridge is a pretty unique looking structure and those are USA flags lining the crowd....
