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 โ€œa pool of water at the corner of main street and the Boulevardโ€ (102 St.).  Now thatโ€™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.
