When I see pictures of the "Bridge" it is like going back home. I was born and raised in East Tallassee and have walked across that bridge more times than seems possible. When my son was small, we would go home (from Texas) and the first thing he and his Granddaddy would do was go for a walk on the "Tallapoosa River Bridge"...he is 38 years old and that Bridge holds a special place in his memories of his Granddaddy.
