Hank has finally investigated something worth while. The Boston Skatepark, you know the one that was supposed to be completed in 2006, then 2008, later guaranteed for 2009, and now that 2010 is here were still where we were in 2000. Watch the quick little video HERE and be amazed by the amount of B.S. that these nice folks from the CRC are feeding us. Over 2.5 million raised and nothing has happened yet, they haven't been given the rights to the land or even tested the soil they believe to be toxic. Lots and lots of red tape and a mountainous political landscape to navigate here. The joke is the Boston Mob has some bodies buried under that bridge and they don't want no one digging under that bridge...
Steve had a good point, let's take all that money, let's find a new spot, and get this damn park built! If they haven't got it together in 10 years how much longer is it going to take. You watch this video and you can tell these people really have no idea what to say about anything. The lady from the CRC says skaters need to understand "things don't happen overnight" but 10 years? Seriously? I think it's time for some answers, some action, and a skatepark. I think Hank has done a good job here and I hope this little spotlight on the Boston Skatepark will light a fire under the right feet. So spread the word, share this video, and keep an eye on the situation.
Just found this update from the Charles River Skatepark website HERE.
