	+ ------ + ''2013-09-21 09:46:11'' [[nbsp]] Long before the tow path was frequented by strollers, joggers and bikes. Scum jumping was a rite of passage for all kids growing up along the canal in the 70's. All parents forbade their children from doing it......so of course every kid wanted to do it. --["Users/JamesMillard"]
