Yellow brick road
The actual road is believed to be one in Peekskill, New York, where L. Frank Baum attended Peekskill Military Academy. According to a local legend, the Yellow Brick Road was derived from a road paved with yellow bricks near Holland, Michigan, where Baum spent summers. Ithaca, New York, also makes a claim for being Frank Baum's inspiration. He opened a road tour of his musical, The Maid of Arran, in Ithaca, and he met his future wife Maud Gage Baum while she was attending Cornell University. At the time, yellow bricks paved local roads. Yellow brick roads can also be found in Aberdeen, South Dakota; Albany, New York; Rossville (Baltimore County), Maryland; Montclair, New Jersey (Parkhurst Place and Afterglow Way); Bronxville, New York (on Prescott and Valley roads); Chicago, Illinois; Liberal, Kansas; Sedan, Kansas and Chittenango, New York, as well as a school in Abington, Pennsylvania, and abroad in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Crybaby Bridge
In Kellyville, approximately 1.63 miles east of the Slick/Kellyville Road on West 181st Street on the north side, there is the original bridge abutments off of the new road. There is a local legend about a woman and her infant child driving down the road trying to escape her husband, only for the woman's car to run off the bridge. Legend has it that the baby was never found, and that if the bridge is visited at midnight the baby's cry can be heard and sometimes accompanied by a strange blue light.
In Oklahoma City at Lake Overholser, the metal bridge by Route 66 is known for sightings of a woman in all white with a baby on the bridge or on the side. At night her shadow allegedly appears if cars turn their lights off, and, additionally, walkers on the bridge have also allegedly reported feeling her presence and hearing a baby cry.
