What forced an entire castle to vanish from the landscape, leaving nothing but whispers beneath your feet? Which brave souls beat the odds during a night of terror in Fitzalan Square’s darkest hour? Why does the bold blue arch of Park Square Bridge spark wild debates among locals about trams and superheroes?
