See, ya got it all wrong.  Nevada City 4 miles north is hippie town.  Grass valley should be called Crank Valley.
     They invented the tooth brush here.  Anywhere else it woulda been called a teeth brush ;D

Yep, Tacoma Narrows bridge, also known as Galloping Gertie, nice that someone got it on film.  I think all budding bridge engineers have to watch that one, or at least I've heard that. ;D
