Inspiring Curiosity and Reflection

Esperanza and Irwin pick up in the late 1950's heyday of The Bridge.  Can-Am races, The Vanderbilt Cup, Nascar races all were happening in this era, with the world's greatest auto racers.  But unfortunately, economic challenges, Southampton Town rezoning, development pressures and changing demographics created problems for The Bridge. An unlikely alliance between The Bridge and environmental groups, particularly The Group for the South Fork (now East End) occurred.  The Bridge was championed by Newsday, and found a guardian angel in Robert Rubin.  But none of that was enough to save The Bridge.   We're excited to bring this compelling story to what is for us, a heartbreaking conclusion.
