At Louisville.com: "Will Bob Manning cross the Sherman Minton Bridge again?"

This is an uncommonly fine human interest story by Thomas McAdam at Louisville.com, about the boy who inadvertently "opened" the Sherman Minton Bridge at the age of 13 back in 1962. Will his story repeat itself? Thanks to JP for the link.

On a different note, teenage Sherman Minton was arrested in 1904 for riding his bike on a Georgetown sidewalk.

The fact that bike laws remain largely a mystery to the public a century later speaks to the seriousness bike and pedestrian safety is taken by officials.
