Does anyone know what the padlocks are all over the chainlink fence out by there?

A love lock or love padlock is a padlock that sweethearts lock to a bridge, fence, gate, monument, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts' names or initials, and perhaps the date, are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolize unbreakable love.

I think it's supposed to be like the bridge in Paris, where couples put a lock with their names on it.
