Remove the broken bridge? I hope not! I grew up in Friant and that bridge is a landmark. We used to carry our inner tubes up to the bridge and then float down to just below the fish hatchery. The river flowed around the island better then and we were supposed to stay on the Fresno side as the Madera side was too swift. We would stop by Ann’s for a snow cone on the way home. Ann & her husband came out to Friant a few days a week and sold their snow cones out a ‘trailer stand’. They made all their 12 or so flavors, the ice was the texture of soft snow and the cost was ten cents. No other snow cone has ever compared, so I gave up on snow cones years ago.
