Xenon marks The Brooklyn Bridge!


   The Brooklyn Bridge, built in 1883, is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the country. Whether your a local or just visiting, its one of the most popular tourist destination as 4,000 pedestrians use the walk-way each day. There's an interesting fact that has remained in obscurity.

  Over the years, thousands of people have signed there names on the beams of the Brooklyn Bridges walk-way. There's the classic, " I was here" to romantic hearts, special messages and there were even are a few instagram hastags. This looked like the perfect opportunity for Xenon to leave "his mark" on NYC's most famous landmark. Xenon left his own special message on both sides of bridge.

 

This time instead of saying "Xenon was here", he decided to do something classy. Located near the entrance to Brooklyn, Xenon simply greets visitors by saying "Hello Brooklyn".


Upon walking the 1.13 miles to Manhattan (it's 2.26 miles both ways), the view is just gorgeous- check out the Freedom Tower!



   On the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge, (just .5 miles from the entrance.) Xenon also greets visitors, with a simply classic, "Hello Manhattan."  It's exciting that we could be a part of this unofficial tradition, regardless of what side of the bridge your on, Xenon will always be there to greet you.
