When I noticed the headline on this item, my first thought was that the little boy had fallen into the creek.  Much to my surprise, the body of water in question was “a pool of water at the corner of main street and the Boulevard” (102 St.).  Now that’s some pothole!  Fortunately the boy was rescued, apparently none the worse for his experience.  One shudders to think of the repercussions of such an incident today.
