Description
ANSWER: Yep, it's the spillway of Hansen Dam. (Didn't you notice those foothill peaks peeking through the opening?) And sure, it's racy. They have outboard motorboat races on the lake behind it and sports car races on a track directly below it.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.108 -- Surely you don’t have to get profane for you to realize what this is. So what dam is it? This is a racy place -- one kind of racing on one side and another on the other. Isn't that enough. Turn to Page 18, Page lA.
