FLOODED STREETS MAKE PERFECT PLAYGROUND
Soil saturated from previous rains couldn’t handle any more during last Wednesday’s downpours. As drivers were rerouted past flooded portions of I-90 in Rocky River, children on Riverview Avenue took to the streets swimming. Mayor William Knoble of Rocky River said Monday several city basements were flooded as well, including some on High Parkway and East Shoreland.
