Re The Brooklyn Bridge, once upon a time, many years ago, when I lived in NYC (Brooklyn) and worked in New Jersey, I used to drive across the old bridge regularly.
As to placing of decimal points, it took me a while to catch on, but "powers of 10"(exponents) were a handy mental device to use for that purpose. I still play with them now and then, having become interested in the things, after seeing some posts here on solving some navigation problems. I usually use my old HP 11C, which is handy too, especially for trig.
