Excerpt #1 from a film by Thomas Keller (HD video, color, 16:9, 61 min.) including views of Lupine Road, a baseball field in Dracut and the famous Moody Street Bridge with its familiar humming sound of car tires on the bridge’s iron grids. The Moody Street Bridge was originally built in 1896 and dismantled in 2014. It connected the city‘s Little Canada neighborhood to Pawtucketville. Mill workers living in East Pawtucketville trekked it to and from the city’s downtown mills. In 1947, it was renamed the Textile Memorial Bridge.
Chronicling his Lowell childhood in his novel "Doctor Sax" (1959), Kerouac wrote about the day he and his mother witnessed the sudden death of a man carrying a watermelon on the bridge. It was young Jack’s first encounter with death.
