Steamboat Springs, CO - The James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge

from Small Town News · host Small Town News

Welcome to "The Boat"!  Steamboat Springs is an internationally known ski resort destination and has produced more athletes for the Winter Olympics than any other town in North America.  The town got its name when early trappers heard the chugging sound made by the natural hot springs in the area and mistook them for a steamboat.  We presume these trappers were well into a bottle or two of poop wine when they came across the springs to make a connection that crazy.  The town is home to "The James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge", which has an incredible story.  We explore that and many other interesting town stories in this week's episode. Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
