ASSESSMENT WEST SIDE 9 KRISTEN MULLEN THE CITIZENS' VOICE Mark Plaza inundated WAREHOUSE Twrrj market I Dozens of onlookers were gathering on the top of the levee Friday afternoon by the Mark Plaza to see several flooded retail buildings, including Kmart and Redner's Warehouse Market. The river was about 7 feet shy of the top of the levee. Many onlookers were walking dogs and socializing. Police were trying to keep them off the levee. "We are still in a danger zone," Councilman Gary Mack said, noting flood water pressure on the levee.

A flood wall was erected on Route 11 and connected the earthen levees on both sides of the road. "This has held up pretty well," Mack said. Other flooded businesses included Long John Silver's, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Dollar General, Payless Shoes and That Bounce Place. Edwardsville Mayor Bernard 'Ace" Dubaskas said borough police helped a Redner's employee get to his car Thursday afternoon as the river began to take over the Mark Plaza parking lot. In Larksville, the Carey Avenue Bridge remained open Friday, but four businesses on U.S.

Route 11 near the bridge were flooded. The river didn't reach the Lark Diner on Route 11. The river flooded Adult World, the Lukoil gas station, Main Beverage Beer and Glen Bottling Co. Michael P. Buffer KRISTEN MULLEN THE CITIZENS' VOICE.
