If Northmoor's 35th tornado anniversary didn't make me feel old enough, I was recently contacted by newsok.com to share my memories of the 1991 demolition of Graffiti Bridge.
I was working at KJ-103 at the time of the bridge's demise and we sprearheaded a petition drive to save the bridge. At the time, there was an article in the paper describing our efforts and I was quoted, so that's why they talked to me for the retrospective piece.
The following video is a bit choppy, but it's a great look back on the local landmark. It's so sad to see former city councilman, Mark Schwartz, in such a poor physical condition. He would die just a few weeks after he was interviewd for this piece.
So, for those of you who are "old" enough to remember Graffiti Bridge, enjoy the walk down Memory Lane. If the story is new to you, I'm sorry you missed this unique icon.
