What the what??!  From The Decatur Minute blog…

In celebration of the 30^th anniversary of the Decatur Business Association, the DBA along with the City of Decatur has decided to shake up our traditional summer event, the Decatur Beach Party, and make a huge SPLASH this summer. For one day only, there will be a 1000 foot long water slide in the middle of W. Ponce de Leon Ave, stretching from Clairemont down just past Ponce de Leon Place. The event is called Slide the City and this event has been sweeping the nation!

You can expect more details ( and ticket information) in the next few weeks but for now, mark your calendars for  Saturday, July 25th and start shopping for your favorite inflatable!

Check out the video of the slide here

According to the Slide the City website, events are scheduled all over the U.S., including yet-to-be scheduled events in Atlanta and Athens.
