what? a bridge named after a Jew???

You better check your facts! The bridge is actually named "The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge." In true Boston fashion (I can say this because I am born and bred Boston Irish Catholic - recovering, of course), there was some controversy about naming a bridge after a Jew. There are different angles on the naming controversy; you can read a couple for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
