It made national news, my bridge fell down.

Watching NBC tonight there was a report a bridge fell down in Wheeling, West Virginia. The picture looked familiar. Yes, it was the Washington Avenue bridge we used to play under.  Form our side of the creed we shot huge slingshots over toward the Bandi's house on the other side. The sling shots were made from the fork of a good sized tree, and a bicycle tube was used to propel rocks the size of softballs. Amazing no one was killed in the battles. Under the bridge was a good place to smoke cigarettes, and cigars. Each neighborhood had a gang, and under the bridge was the place of the Washington Avenue gang. Kadizzle was from the Woodsdale gang, but got along with the members of the Washington Avenue gang.
