What South Bend is talking about this week:
[... as I wrap up my time with the family in Indiana and head back to Chicago!]
So it's the holidays and I found out a day late, but I now know what to get as a gift for the person who has everything -- an historic bridge! When I first heard about this INDOT program, I assumed that it was one of those pay money for your community group to have a plaque things, but it turns out they want you to actually adopt it and take it home with you. Having grown up in Central PA, it reminded me of efforts to protect the wooden covered bridges that dot the countryside ... but the website below has the photos of the bridges-waiting-for-your-family-to-love-them, and I'm afraid they look like they might stay in government foster care for quite some time.
