The teddy bears and pacifer on the Stone Arch bridge with I love you around the flowers is a sight that will remain with me. The diesel fuel and gas left a milky mess of stuff in an already polluted river. A group of people were singing songs on the Stone Arch bridge. One woman with streaks of eyeliner was holding on to a friend and commenting how this event forever changed her life. I was born in the Twin Cities and have driven that bridge for years. The Mill City museum overlooks the saddness. This area has seen many major accidents in the last 150 years. The explosion of the flour mill that damaged the Twin Cities years ago and a fire within minutes of the Saint Anthony Falls. The flowers lay weaved in the railings of the walkways around the museum.
