What a ride! Griffith Street to Minnow Branch

A view from the top of Griffith Street hill offers a perspective of what snow sledders had in store for them at the turn of the 20th Century. A hundred or more boys would turn out to ride the course that they all helped maintain. Boys en route back up the hill would stop horse and electric street car traffic on the cross streets to ensure safety. MARY LOU MONTGOMERY/www.maryloumontgomery.com
