A picture of the bridge might help explain why it has that unofficial moniker:

Barstool is reporting about a petition for West Virginia – birthplace of Gen. Stonewall Jackson (CSA) – to replace Confederate statues with that of the mythical Mothman, star of the 2004 Richard Gere movie “The Mothman Prophecies.”

As for Ms Parton locally, the South Charleston Community Center has unofficially been known as the Dollydome for years, given its somewhat Bactrian appearance from the interstate.
