My wife and I were on vacation a couple of weeks ago and we stopped in Yankton South Dakota for a couple hours to stretch our legs. We’re from Rockford Illinois. We walked across the bridge between Yankton and Neb. We saw dozens of padlocks attached to the bridge. My wife said it might be a tradition for high school graduates to put a lock on the bridge. Would she be correct?
I sent this to the city of Yankton, to their library, to one of their radio stations and received no reply so I’m asking the teeming millions here. Does anyone know the reasons for the padlocks?
Thanks in advance.
