July 2, 1962 Appleton Post-Crescent
On the same day the Post-Crescent reported the formation of the Riverside Clinic, comes this news of a committee formed to promote the building of a bridge over Little Lake Butte des Morts. I wonder what happened to THAT idea?
Did the mayor think it would revive downtown Menasha??.....seems the bridge made Appleton's downtown more accessible for folks across the pond.
ReplyDeleteDo a search for "Roland Kampo Bridge" in the search box and see my post about the bridge from September 18, 2012. Over the course of the next 13 years until the bridge was a reality, it appears the city still believed it would bring new business to downtown. That post featured an ad that the Menasha Business Associates put in the paper upon the bridge's completion, still touting the ease and convenience the bridge would provide to get to Menasha businesses.
