Cry Baby Bridge

Many rumors abound about this bridge, with a school bus driving off of it and all the kids drown to a young unwed mother flinging her baby into the waters below. Legend says if you park your car in the middle of the bridge and put it in neutral, it will get pushed to the other side. I tried it and the bridge has a slight slope to it, not perfectly level. But it makes for a great story.
