As temperatures neared 90 degrees, men, women and children of all ages zipped down a 1,000-foot water slide set up in the 3500 block of Hillen Road. Hoses sprayed people with cold water as they shot down. A puddle greeted them at the end. Saturday's event was the first time that Utah-based organizers brought "Slide the City" to Baltimore. All 3,000 tickets were sold before Friday night, the organizers said.
"It was great," Robert Bland, 51, said after his fourth trip down the slide. "With all the bad press we've gotten around here, we needed some positive news. This is a black, white, Asian and college student event. We're all here."

Just heard they put a teacher in an Ambulance at West Salisbury Elementary due to heat exhaustion. Any truth? Be a big issue on here I bet with the lack of funding for that school and no A/C. With no A/C I bet it is miserable in there. Get a post going. Id love to know the scoop Joe.
She has an Oscar to match her Masters now! This is how teachers unions get to bark.
