NEW Grandtheftelectionohio :"We Shut Down the Bridge" Gretna La-NOLA
New page at Grand Theft Election Ohio "We Shut Down the Bridge", the Gretna La. story, just a small part of the larger NOLA tragedy. Note: this is two pieces of art in one. It can be viewed as it appears or rotate it right to get a different perspective on things.

I found over 700 internet references to the police chief of Gretna, most with the quote "We shut down the bridge." Thinking about it, I realized that the bridge is important both as a real structure for western expansion and as a metaphor in American life. That police chief may have closed off an actual bridge for a brief period of time, leading to tears, suffering and death, but he will never shut down the bridge in the heart of America.
