The Bridge at Tappan Zee

Yesterday they blew up the Tappan Zee Bridge, one of the important landmarks of life in Westchester County:

That bridge was three miles across the Hudson Zee (see) as the Dutch called it and a nod to the region's Nederlands heritage. 

The reader is looking north and if one continues north, one comes to a bend. Around that bend is where we grew up, just north of Croton and south of Peekskill or Peek's Kill.
