Much respect, brothers. I will miss all of you. We, as social beings, NEED a gathering place to socialize, have fun, learn about each other and life - and this place will live for a long time in many skaters lives as that place. <br /> Perhaps a different approach should have been done. But in this modern world of control and power - erradication and removal is the new way (actually it's been going on throughout history). Sad. We need to learn how to live together, not apart.<br /> Skate for life, brothers!Scoobynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-54617497983988179122011-12-12T12:34:12.655-05:002011-12-12T12:34:12.655-05:00Oh, how awful!!!

I live very near, ...This really sucks for the kids. I live very near, but not on, the park, and I've honestly seen very few of the kind of violent incidents described on the threads. There seems to be a bit more pot smoking than most parents approve of, but I've never been harassed, had rocks thrown at me, etc. as some comments have described. Although I don't doubt the veracity of these claims, I can't help but think these are isolated incidents, since I have to walk by the park 4 or 5 times a day. Perhaps there just needs to be better policing? Scrapping the whole park concept seems a bit extreme to me; we've coexisted with the skaters for years, and I'm sure that we can come to some sort of mutually acceptable agreement that curbs objectionable behavior while still allowing the kids to have a place to go hang out and do something that keeps them occupied and out of trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-16500247222647196552011-12-10T12:17:07.294-05:002011-12-10T12:17:07.294-05:00Horrible!!I never saw anything illegal going on th...Horrible!!I never saw anything illegal going on there--I used to photograph there frequently.
