Psst—Hey, Buddy…Once called the greatest con man in his-
tory, George C. Parker reportedly sold theBrooklyn Bridge twice a week for thirtyyears! In some accounts, a few of thosewho were duped into believing they reallyowned this New York landmark structureactually set up toll booths and begancharging passage fees before they weretold the truth.
Now, I’m not implying that the State ofNew Hampshire is anywhere near in theleague of a George Parker, but trying tosell that Roger’s Rangers bridge as a his-toric landmark is, well…
Here’s the deal: If that bridge is so wor-thy of being called “historic,” then whyhas she been so severely neglected andallowed to deteriorate to the sad conditionshe’s in right now? When was the last timethe old girl had a coat of paint? Whyweren’t her twisted and bent-up I-beamsever been replaced?
It seems strange to me that all of a sud-den now, we’re big on saving history. Thetime to save a piece of history would have
been back in 1949 when they destroyedthat really long covered bridge across theConnecticut River. Maybe we should haveset over a few feet on either side of it whenwe built the steel truss bridge and used theoriginal wooden bridge for pedestrian andbicycle traffic. Think of what a nice drawit would have been for tourism.
If the state is serious about getting thatold bridge out of the way, here’s my plan:Take the crazy historic landmark part offthe table. (Remember how that old bluehouse on the sharp turn by Soldier’s Parkended up, ten years later?) Don’t worrythat some contractor might make a lot ofmoney on the deal, but sell it only for thesteel. It will be outta there yesterday!
If you’re still teary-eyed over its loss,keep some steel from it and set it besidethe new bridge along with a plaque andgood a photo, preferably back when it wasfreshly painted and looking its best. ButI’m just a retired ol’ wrench-twisting sto-ryteller—you folks know more about sell-ing old steel bridges than I’ll ever know,and I wish you all the best of luck.
