Stuff I Bet You Didn't Know Was Out There

This is along River Dr next to the Arsenal Bridge. Marion was the first American woman killed in the First World War.







Near the corner of River Dr and East 4th street there are two monuments. The one is about the first bridge that went across the Mississippi. The second is about the boat that hit the bridge and the lawsuit that followed. A young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln is one of the lawyers and the case got his name into the public forum. And the rest is history.
