Famous Y Bridge – Zanesville, OH
photo credit: minnemom In 1960, driving across Ohio on Route 40 with a group of fellow Boy Scouts, we pulled in Zanesville, OH and were greeted by a goofy looking bridge. (“Go to the center of the bridge and turn left,” we were given for directions.) A Historical Marker at one end declared,…
Say Goodbye To Back Pain
