FROM THE ARCHIVES - Lincoln Park's High Bridge / Suicide Bridge
ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2020.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Lincoln Park had a “High Bridge” which rose 75 feet over the south lagoon's water. As welcoming to sightseers as the big beautiful bridge was, it also had a dark appeal, quickly earning it the dubious name “Suicide Bridge.”
