Bridge Over Troubled Highway

It may not make much difference to anyone outside of Dogtown in St. Louis, but last Saturday the Tamm Bridge reopened. This is the most convenient and safest access to Forest Park from where I've been living. They blew up the last bridge at midnight while I was working in NYC this past spring. It seems like a nice bridge, as far as bridges go. One of my roommates and I went down to the festival for the reopening. As soon as we got there a middle school group started performing Grease songs, so we decided we needed to leave (plus, we were misled about there being free hot dogs).

The snake head at Turtle Park mysteriously disappeared before the bridge demolition. The artist (who lives in Dogtown) created a new head that comes up to the bridge. Speculation has been that he stole it himself.
