On Sunday at 1:30pm, Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio will be downtown cutting a ribbon to open Curtis Hixon park where they built a playground for all the avid playgrounders and children you find downtown. Stop by with your skateboard and show the mayor what really should have been built. See you there for a $43 million game of SKATE an maybe more. Who knows.

The final clean up is going on today and tomorrow.

First hurricane this summer is claiming those trees.

A wide view of the Park and the art museum opening next month. That building is Skypoint where I dwell.

Who's got Tampa's biggest firecracker down this set?
|
Grown man rail.
|
Corner stairs.
|
This will be the most heavily used public resource in Tampa.
|
Who put those marks there? The ground sucks, the ledges aren't so great either. I'm sure they'll be capped by the time you get there anyway.
|
Those cracks in this tall manny ledge are pretty wide.
|
Those three stair sets remind of Bryan Herman. That's the new art museum opening up next month.

And that's the sunset on Twiggs Street a couple blocks away. Stop by Curtis Hixon Park on Sunday for the Mayor's ribbon cutting and show them there should have been a place for skateboarders here, not a dumb ass playground where kids don't live or go.
