Minnesota bridge served as John Dillinger's escape route

Nestled in Dakota County, over the serene Mississippi River, lies a pier that is not just picturesque but echoes with history. The Rock Island Swing Bridge in Inver Grove Heights serves as a portal back in time, transporting you to the era of the notorious gangster, John Dillinger, when it was employed as a swift escape route.

I guess stories like this, and the ones about dope heads getting recreational weed passed into legality, are the major areas of concern for this station.
