What Jamie wrote
I love this article so much. Perhaps I love it because I know the bridge it is about. Most folks in the Twin Cities would pass under this bridge when driving on I-494. But Vigen asks the question "Why?" This pedestrian bridge doesn't seem to serve a purpose, so he sets about to answer why it exists. The depths that he pursues to answer that question are impressive. I’m not going to give it away, but I loved this highlight.
While I am dedicated to this search, I am not about to fly down to Kansas City to dig through federal archives, especially when those documents may or may not be there...
...just kidding. Of course I flew down to Kansas City to dig through the federal archives!
Yes, he flew to Kansas City in pursuit of the answer.
This is a wonderful, delightful read.
