The Brooklyn Bridge Has Always Been a Magnet for Mystery

First a grand piano showed up underneath it, then two white flags appeared on top of it. Why does the Brooklyn Bridge attract so many enigmas?

On May 31, a grand piano appeared underneath the Brooklyn Bridge without any explanation. More than a month later, the piano a bit worse for wear, the mystery persists as to who put it there and why.

Today there's another mystery brewing at the bridge. New York woke up this morning to find two white flags planted in pride of place atop the Brooklyn Bridge, one on each tower.
