Hey...Thanks for including the bridge history. Actually, it is just "Hope Memorial Bridge" as it is named for Bob Hop's father, as you point out. But I have to say I'm not fond of the idea of naming things for the local relatives of celebrities. I, an other in Cleveland, call it by its appropriate original name "Lorain-Carnegie Bridge."
