Scores Enjoy McCleary Ave Beach On Tuesday
A large crowd over 100 relief seekers gathered at Shenango McCleary Avenue Beach Tuesday afternoon as heat and humidity drew New Castle residents to swim. Girls from Carnegie playgrounds plus local youths enjoyed the water until a threatening storm led Bradley McGonigle to bring an ambulance to assist stranded visitors. The storm damaged an ambulance window and left a flat tire, but all children were delivered safely back to the playgrounds. If heat persists, beach use may set a yearly record by Saturday.
