Down Town

The sidewalks stand about two feet high. Two inches in about an hour in an already over saturated area.

 

Yes it is, guess our drought is over.

 

Must flood there often, Rusty to have two feet high footpaths.

 

First time in several year actually. On the side streets the use to have movable section that would connect the walking paths.

When they first build the town the Main Street that went through the center of town is now called Big Ditch.



“Main Street” in Silver City, New Mexico: the black-and-white photo shows damage from the devastating flood of 1902. The buildings that were still standing on the west side of what had been Main Street were repaired — and reversed. Their backs became their fronts and their for alley became the new “Main Street,” today called Bullard Street. The colour photo shows the Big Ditch as it is today — Black & white photo courtesy of the Silver City Museum, John Harlan Collection; Color photo by Bob Ingraham
