"Robert E. McCulloch was a millionaire with big ideas. McCulloch’s big idea was completely outrageous
but comparatively benign. He started by
building his own dream town besides one of the lakes that the lower Colorado
has become. But after he had done it, and named the town Lake Havasu City, and
filled it with streets and Houses and golf courses and all, he still wasn’t satisfied. The city still needed something, a centerpiece. McCulloch thought London Bridge would be
nice. So he went to London and bought
it. He shipped it over from the River
Thames, every stone of it, and put it up in the Arizona desert, and only then
detoured the Colorado so that the bridge would have a river to cross. More than a million people make a special
trip every year to see if it’s true that London Bridge is not in Arizona." –Charles Kuralt
Imagination is a great thing. Look at any kid with a bunch of Legos and see the magic they can do. We have that inside us.
