Those are some great photos and video!
seems like the whole town could use better drainage infrastructure… maybe more of that and less carousels, rock parks, and dilapidated old junk theaters…
Totally agree!
Qdrainage is real bad on bluff st. Why doesn,t th city clean th drains, they put in bigger culverts, but I see paper, trash in them all the time, and even today the 4th the drains were plugged up with dirt, wait til next storm maybe this week again..
Did you ever pass the 5th grade? i cant understand your writing!
