Honorable Mention:


Lock Gate at Beacon Brewing Co.

In the Hillside neighborhood of LaGrange, local brewpub Beacon Brewing Co. features a lock fence surrounding the brewery. This fence is modeled after the many love lock bridges in Europe where sweethearts attach locks with their initials and throw away the key. While the number of locks don’t quite rival bridges in Paris just yet, restaurant patrons are always encouraged to add to the collection.
