I never get up that way - I didn't know they changed the name!  We all call it the TZ!

(I think the last time I went across the TZ was when we went to bring my sister's kids home from summer camp in the early 1990s!)

@ALRATIBA  I'm across the TZ bridge and it looks like midnight outside. Also thunder and rain.

Do you ever think the powers that be will rename the TZ Bridge back to the TZ Bridge?

Just want to point out us folks out here in the hinterlands have no idea what the TZ bridge might be or what waterway it crosses. We could try to help you get it renamed if we just knew what and where. LOL

@On It  It's north of the NYC area where the op posted from. I posted as it was in her area. Otherwise I wouldn't have.

@ALRATIBA  The name was changed by the Governor after his father.

Per your request .... via Wiki:

The Tappan Zee Bridge, officially named the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, is a twin cable-stayed bridge spanning the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack in the U.S. state of New York. It was built to replace the original Tappan Zee Bridge, which was located just to the south.

Are you discussing the Tappan Zee Bridge when you write "TZ"?

I'm also wondering about this.

@proudlyfromNJ  Thank you! Sitting out here in the arid Southwest, I have been to NYC several times but did not recognize that name. It is so much fun to learn about everyone's life in different parts of our country. Please know I was jokingly trying to piece together where you were.

Thank you, ALRATIBA.

As I was writing my post, you were producing yours.

ETA:  When I lived in NYC, some friends drove me up to Tarrytown and West Point.

Because that occurred in 1970, I suppose I was on the original Tappan Zee Bridge.

It sounds like the Yankees game tonight will be rained-out.  Or at least its start will be delayed.
