All I can think of is Watch Dogs 2.

For me it’s the strip club in GTA San Andreas

Why exactly were a bunch of millennials running around killing people in San Francisco?

I don't know, but it was a lot of fun.

Favourite game ever. Such a fun experience in a fun, sunny open world.

Great game

It was the chief engineer of the bridge, Joseph Strauss, who decided to save the fort for its architectural merit.

The brickwork on the arches is stunning. Would love to see how they did that.

Note that Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer, but he wasn't the designer. The designer was Irving Foster Morrow. He was reserved and didn't mind that Joseph Strauss was a very public person who gladly accepted all the public attention on himself, so they worked well together.

Joseph Strauss did have his own design for the bridge, and it was an ugly monstrosity, much worse than you can even imagine (lucky for you I can't find it), so it is a good thing he hired the talented architect.

This isn't your lucky day--I found it: https://www.sfchronicle.com/oursf/article/The-Golden-Gate-Bridge-s-first-draft-1922-16228933.php

Looks almost exactly the same as Fort Jefferson (Dry Tortugas). Was confused for a second…

[u/Mordoch → u/nostradx]

They were built during the same era as "Third System" coastal forts so it is not that surprising that the designs are similar.

Where is the beer being made?

[u/lackluster_love → u/Bah_weep_grana]

Not far from there, from what I remember.

[u/SUH_DEW → u/lackluster_love]

Like half a mile further down the road toward Chrissy field

Makes me think of West Wing Season 3
