"love locks" on the Steel Bridge, Portland OR

"Love locks" on the Steel Bridge, Portland OR. According to Telegraph.co.uk: "It is unclear who started the fashion. Italians claim it was sparked by a romantic novel called I Want You, by Federico Moccia, in which the hero and heroine attach a padlock with their name onto a lamppost on Ponte Milvio, near Rome, kiss and throw the key in the river Tiber."

 

I count about 5 so far on the Steel Bridge, as of 05/17/2010.
