      A friend of mine growing up was a Smoot, it was always fun walking across the bridge. The numbers are regularly repainted and the repainting was also done by the city when resurfacing the bridge in the 80s… lastly it can’t be understated how hilarious it is that the man who was a measurement went on to be a chairman of ANSI and president of the ISO.
