First-person, real-time, natural sound — no commentary. Just the route. The video includes a GPS overlay and landmark labels.
- MLK Drive was formerly West River Drive; it has been closed to cars for recreation on weekends since 1995.
- Falls Bridge opened in June 1895 — about 556 feet long, built for $262,000, designed for a second deck that was never built. Blue LED lighting was added in 2007.
- The current Spring Garden Street Bridge opened in 1965, the fourth bridge at this crossing; a ferry ran here as early as 1693.
