Color
Local residents call the Cary Bridge the "Blue Bridge" because of its color. The Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro's newspaper) sponsored a straw poll vote to determine what color to paint the bridge. Not surprisingly, blue was the overwhelming winner. Kentucky and Indiana highway officials have indicated the bridge is scheduled for repainting in about 2017 (which happens to be Owensboro's bicentennial) at an estimated cost of 8 to 10 million dollars.

Famous quotes containing the word color:
“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”
—Josephine Baker (1906–1975)
“The pills are a mother, but better,
every color and as good as sour balls.
I’m on a diet from death.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
