Corralitas Public Staircase: Mudtastic!

Photo: Diane Edwardson, July 18, 2015.  Tropical Storm Dolores thundered through the neighborhood,  dumped 1/2" of rain in 20 minutes and created a muddy, rocky mess on the Corralitas Public Staircase this morning.  (Click on photos to enlarge.)

*UPDATE Monday, July 20, 2015: Developer cleaned up the public staircase, sidewalk and street this morning.
