Remembering Lover's Lane in Bristol and Warren
Will you sneak off to your Lover's Lane this Valentine's Day?
Does Lover's Lane still exist Bristol and Warren? Have they gone the way of miniskirts and disco music and unsafe sex? Have they shifted from love nests to drinking hangouts instead?
There have been several "Lover's Lanes" in Bristol and Warren over the last few decades. Here are just a few that local residents could recall.
- Colt State Park
- Broadcommon Road near Metacom (when it was a dirt golf cart path)
- The Broken Bridge in Warren
- Burr's Hill Park
- Under the Mount Hope Bridge
- Maple Road Beach in Touisset
- The Teepees in Bristol
With more youth freedom today, the days of sneaking off to Lover's Lane are probably gone. Or are they? Have they been bulldozed into oblivion? Or are there still some secluded spots to get away with your sweetheart?
