AKIQPilot Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Pretty cool story about Bob McColloch founder of the McColloch chain saws. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/the_bridge_that_crossed_an_ocean In 1831 the last brick was laid on London Bridge - the culmination of years of work by renowned engineer John Rennie. But its tenure as a thoroughfare in Britain’s smoky capital was just a chapter in its lifetime. Exactly 140 years later, the bridge would find a new purpose thousands of miles away in Arizona, as a tourist attraction in a fledgling desert city.
