More and more items were unearthed and discovered in the murky water as crowds gathered by the canal to better look at what was going on. Every 10-15 years, the canal is drained and cleaned, giving the public plenty of opportunity to toss, lose, and drop all manner of strange objects into the water. An old-school stereo is sunken on the muddy ground here. We’re left wondering how it got there in the first place.
