When the city celebrated the Bay Bridge opening back in 1936, it was a four-day long affair filled with parties, parades, floats, dames, sailors, penny candy, and gams that went all the way up to here. When the (stunning) new eastern span opens on Labor Day 2013, we can only hope the official program is as gorgeous as this one. Look how chic and dapper (and white!) everyone was. Especially the Auntie Mame looking lady in the hat and fur collar. Real class.
