Arizona’s Big, Big Souvenir

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

In the 1960s, London Bridge was falling down – specifically, it was sinking down under the weight of modern-day traffic. London decided to put the bridge up for sale, and it attracted all kinds of buyers, from casinos to major cities to entertainers. But the winning bid came from an unexpected place: a chainsaw-manufacturing millionaire in the Arizona desert. 

Learn more about London Bridge at Lake Havasu City, and check out the voodoo doll found under the bridge.
