Avenida Mirola is a street that channels rain water from surrounding streets down to a large drainage system that sends the collected water to the bay. Back in the 1950’s and 60’s there was a large drainage pipe that was about 3 1/2 feet in diameter where the water flowed into. It extended out in mid air from the upper portion of the cliff by about 12 feet. We kids would climb into the pipe and crawl out to the end and look down to the rocks below. Another kid would then straddle the pipe from above and scoot out to the end where he would get the pipe to bounce up and down giving the two kids inside quite a ride. One Friday night several years later a high school classmate died when he tried to walk out on the top of the pipe. After that the city removed the pipe and redid the entire system.Held ByPalos Verdes Library District. Peninsula Center Library.
