Many of you may be wondering what on earth Hermosa Beach is doing to pier avenue. The entire middle lane has been shut down for months and huge water mains have been placed into the ground. You might have suspected this just had to do with simple sewer updating. Not so, the Hermosa Beach City Council recently approved the world's largest slip n slide that will run right down the middle of the pier and end with a splash down at the end of the Pier into the Pacific Ocean.
Local resident Lars Jacobson said "I'm so excited for the new Hermosa slip n slide; look at this belly, I can do one hell of a belly-flop into the ocean!"
Hermosa Beach Mayor, Michael DiVirgilio, said "we're excited to have the world's largest slip n slide in our city. What really makes Hermosa stand out from other beach cities is our focus on fun, family activities. Just look at Sharkeez, good wholesome family fun over a shark attack any day of the week."
However, some residents of Hermosa Beach are not as supportive of the project as others. Eric Brooks said "I can't really swim very well, what good does this do me besides maybe getting to see a few more girls in bikinis than usual? Wait never mind, I love girls in bikinis, I'm all for this project!"
Former Hermosa Beach resident, Casey Winters, summed up neighboring beach cities opinion like this, "Hermosa is so 2000 and late; El Porto rules!"
Despite tepid excitement from other beach cities, Hermosa plans to go forward with it's slip n slide plan in hopes of attracting the Raging Waters clientele featured in the picture accompanying this article. The inaugural slip n slide will take place on July 4th, just after the second annual Hermosa Haddad 1k.
