The first time I took it was in 1974. I was working in St. Petersburg and decided to take vacation in Ocean City, MD. As a 19 year old I had worked the summer of 1969 for my cousin, he owned the first sub shop in Ocean City, MD. Now five years later I had finished a tour of duty in the Army and was working for the FAA. I drove straight through and got on the bridge/tunnel sometime in the middle of the night. I remember a couple of times seeing attendants in uniform on catwalks along the tunnel. I thought that was strange because it seemed like I was the only car. I didn't know what to expect, I just remember it felt like a long time to get to the other end. I'm pretty sure the toll then was $20 and it's gone down, I believe it's only $13 now.
