In 2013 Joy Medlock, general manager of The Palms at Town & Country went to Paris and was inspired by the Love Lock Bridge, where couples added padlocks to express their love. When she got back home, she decided to bring the tradition to the bridge built in 1985 in the shopping plaza she managed.
Since then people who wanted to celebrate a special event like an engagement, their love, or to commemorate the life of a loved one have added locks to the bridge at the shops in Kendall. The bridge now has hundreds of locks that can be personalized. After adding their locks some people opt to throw the keys into the water below.
In 2007, the enclosed mall was demolished. It was replaced two years later with a new outdoor lifestyle mall. At that time the bridge underwent renovations. The bridge is surrounded by a lot of nice restaurants. After you dine, the bridge is the perfect place for a stroll. When I visited a lot of people were on the bridge taking pictures.

Read moreThis spot is the most romantic and beautiful sight. I came here a couple years ago, it was amazing and even more beautiful with the sun hitting the locks just perfectly with the water underneath. The Love Lock Bridge has a lot of history to it and looking through all the locks, with the names and the different types of locks, amazing; it's beautiful to see so many couples, so many people who love each other have locked in their hearts for one another as well as in memory. If you ever want to do something romantic and spectacular in your relationship, I would suggest this place. There's one other place that you could do this and it's in France, from what I hear, but don't quote me on that. However, what better place to do this love locking than in Miami. Truly a...
