helicopters swoop down just a few feet above a dry
Salt River bed and then in hair-raising formation fly

- There were 2,500 living in Tempe in 1931.
- Ash
Avenue Bridge taken down by city in 1991.
- It's hard
to keep up with all these bridges they keep falling down.
All the other bridges (in the Phoenix area), even
the freeway bridge, were sinking, How in the world do
they build a bridge in sand without a bedrock?. (Harry
Mitchell, former mayor and state senator)
|
- The Tempe Butte was a landmark that guided travelers
to the narrowest point to ford the river when water was
low and safe to cross without a boat.
- So many
bridges were built in the same location because there is
bedrock there. They don't sink, they blow up or get washed
away.

Moral of the story!
Nothing in this world lasts, especially not
forever. Everything here is temporary.
What goes up, must come down.
