The city of Racine, WI has decided to cancel the August 8th, “Slide the City” event where for $15 a slide or $45 all day pass ($37 for a family pass) a person can take a run down a “1,000 foot long Slip ‘N Slide.”
One disappointed commenter, complained, “I guess I’ll just have to lather myself in lard and slide my fat azz down the hill without a crowd.”
It looks like Slide the City is going to be in Detroit this Summer. Which is ironic considering the trouble they’ve been having the last couple of years.
Man, that looks like fun. Nothing better than spring/summer time in a northern climate. I can always remember the day we could open all the windows and let the air in.
Them Racine people just don’t know what they’re doing. Cincinnati, however has decided to spend a couple hundred million (yeah, that’s right) on a 3.5 mile streetcar loop to nowhere. And add a couple a million to run it every year. (what’s a couple million to a democratic city council) They’ll have five cars and 18 stops (you could walk faster) and instead of making the cars look like nice old-timey streetcars, they had them made to look like a Jetson’s bullet train. American built. Well, made in Spain as a “kit” and assembled here. Supposed to be up and running in about a year.
Talk about a flop.
And remember just like a swimming pool the spray in your face has no piss in it.
…can’t wait ’till the next glaciation cycle to clean out this libtard ‘paradise’……can’t happen soon enough for me….
It was cancelled because of waning interest once people found out that the “1000 ft long Slip n’ Slide” was not Kim Kardashian’s hoohah.
If they were having it in “downtown” Racine they no doubt cancelled due to people fearing for their own safety.
Think “Ferguson, MO.”, but your only protection in this instance is your swimsuit.
Detroit Slip & Slide. It’s basically a river of your own blood flowing down the street that you slide on.
Chief nailed it. The thing was begging to be flashmob bumrushed.
I can see bus loads of youngsters being bussed in from Chicago and Detroit. They’ll bring their guns and bathing suits with them. After they tear up the slide they’ll be tearing up the City of Racine. Those politicians ain’t got a lick of common sense.
If they took EBT Cards it would have sold out and been a success.
If you’ve ever been to Racine, probably one of the grossest things you could ever do is rub a body part where someone else from Racine has rubbed a body part. “Fat Azz” is true words, 85% are cows, the other 15% have half teeth with the other half being half black.
Coming to a city near you!

Racine is definitely no alpha gene pool resort town. But it might actually be fun to watch meth/crack heads and the like flying down the street.

It would be fun if you could do it on YouTube.
In person…not so fun.
I don’t think I’d want to use that slide no matter where it was located. Can you imagine the filth on that thing?
I wonder if anyone in Detroit thinks there’s something too much on the nose when a bankrupt city holds an event called “Slide the City.”
Sounds like fun, if it’s set up in a family’s backyard and limited to the family, butt it’s just a soup de jour of communal germs that can spread like the plague if hundreds of people are using that slide. Yuck!
Plum Island Ebola Slide! It’s Bio Warfare-a-licious!
(Like everyone forgot about the massive illegal aliens infesting the US with rare diseases less than a year ago.)
