Slide the City

What a glorious day for a Crown Center block party! With temperatures nearing 80 degrees, revelers lined up for a turn at 1,000 foot slides. Participants were issued a wristband good for 3 slides, a mouthpiece, a tube and a drawstring bag. The slides are set up along East Pershing Road between 25th Street and McGee Street.

Lines were long but worth the wait. The event runs from 9 am to 7 pm today.
