The original London Bridge from the song "London Bridge is Falling Down." Was dismantled in England, shipped, then trucked to Lake Havasu City Az, and reconstructed piece by piece. There is a lake in Lake Havasu, but no place for the bridge to span water, so the man who bought the bridge, Robert McCullochm had a channel dredged which changed the flow of the lake. And he hired CV Wood, the man who designed Disneyland's layout, to lay out the streets of Lake Havasu City. Which many liken to dumping a bowl of spaghetti on a table top, and that's why so many of the streets wind around and that we have only two streets that run completely straight.
