KICKAPOO FOR A SONG: Want to buy a bridge cheap ???

The Kickapoo River bridge in Wisconsin is in rough shape but smooth-talking officials are looking for a buyer with a buck to spare. The bridge is located in Soldiers Grove. Village board members who fear the bridge will collapse have agreed to sell the bridge, which was built in 1910, for $1, hoping the buyer will be attracted by the structure's scrap steel. The bridge hasn't carried traffic in over 31 years.
