THIS BRIDGE HAS LOTS OF HISTORY IN THIS COMMUNITY. MANY PEOPLE SEE IT IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. SOME PEOPLE TAG ON THIS FOR HONOR AND SOME FOR FUN, LORETO SCHOOL KIDS PAINT ON IT TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER. YOU CAN FIND ALMOST ANY LETTER SIGN AND MOSTLY X'S ON TOP OF SOME NAMES, THE DISRESPECT IS COMMON. IN MOST WEEK DAYS YOU CAN FIND COUPLES AND GROUPS OF PEOPLE HANGING OUT, EVEN WHEN IT'S SCHOOL TIME. BEWARE OF WALKING HERE BY YOURSELF AFTER HOURS , MANY UNARMED FACES LURK IT THE DARK.
