LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) — The people who live on Easton Drive have a love-hate relationship with the historic bricks that on their street.
“I do want it to stay, but I do understand that with the flooding and everything, it just lifts it up and causes a lot of chaos,” said Chelsy Springs, who lives in the neighborhood located near Lake Hollingsworth.
In mid-September, bricks were washing out. There was no hurricane. It was just a rainy day.
Jen Lay was trying to hold a party at home.
"It started pouring down rain, and all of a sudden, bricks just start popping up," she said. "They started coming up all over here so no one could come to the event unless they came all the way around the lake because there was a giant hole right in the middle."
Lay loves the brick road on Easton Drive.
