Cupid's Span on the waterfront in San Francisco was built in 2003. It symbolizes where Tony Bennett "left his heart". For me personally, it symbolizes my love for the woman who accepted my proposal of marriage just across the water on Treasure Island.

Check out the extra detail you get when you look at the larger sizes.
