Lyndhurst and W. 10th Growing Despite Frequent Floods
New Development : Being Planned
By MARION CRANEY When flood waters aren't lapping at the door, business at Lyndhurst Drive and W. 10th St. draws a representative trade. Set back from the north corners of the city-county intersection, the center hangs just inside Speedway’s city limits. Expansion has not pushed out residences far enough there to fully develop the neighborhood, a potential for brisker business. But the site is growing. At least once a year winter or spring rains flood Big Eagle Creek. Surrounding lowlands are inundated and rising water threatens to wash out the corner. Some trades close until waters recede. “Others remain open, a source of food and fuel for nearby floodstricken residents. . Like other years, a winter flood |Stoves needed kerosene.
