For a good cause. Young people need something to do, and many of them skateboard, just as I did when I was younger. Unfortunately, there are no official places to do so, and many young people do wherever they can find places, some of which happen to be the street. I see this in 5 Points and am quite afraid that they are going to get hurt or cause a motorist to swerve and wreck. The police could give them citations, and eventually lock them up for repeat behavior, but 13, 14 year olds in jail is not a remedy. These young people are willing to do whatever fundraising they can, and to help the city parks dpt. In any way to make a skate park a reality.
I hope you will attend, just as I would if I were back in town from Denver tomorrow.
Thank you,
Joseph
