Slipsliding Away...

Some of those ditch rivers could get to be quite rough and pack a lot of wallop ...that is once they were dammed off practically to the breaking point...and then...burst the dam! It's a wonder we weren't all washed down to Lakeside Drive! But, if my memory serves me right, when the ditches were deep like that Lakeside Drive wasn't constructed yet. Eventually as the town grew they filled in the ditches and seeded them over with grass...but back then, they were the Grand Canyon!
