From the Monday, April 17, 2017, Miles City Star:

Stardust
People and Perspectives from Miles City's Past

25 YEARS AGO (1992)

The Elks' long-standing
fire escape slide was taken
down some 61 years after it
was erected. Considered to
be a liability on their build-
ing, the Elks gave the slide
to the city. The Public Works
Department removed the
slide and will put it up in one
of the parks around town.

And as we all know, the city threw the thing out. Too bad.

Yeah, I didn't think it found its way to a park. It was probably as big of a liability concern to the City as it was to the Elks.

I loved sliding down that thing!
