| According to a good source. The work should be underway in the spring. Thats about all I know. Although I should add that the conservancy group comissioning the skatepark hired a consultant who spent a day looking at Stamford (and talking to city folks). |

Chad it will be rad.
And Popp, in reality there is no "peterson matter".
All that matters is there will be more concrete. And my brother has an apt. in Boston. |

it looks like as of right now, they are gonna use Wormhoudt. they made louisville and santa cruz, to name a couple. they are obviously legit. But are they gonna switch to grindline, or what? |

| Well, that was back in the earlier part of the day. At the end of the day they signed up with Grindline, not Wormhoudt. The existing design is probably not happening. |

So is it not possible that they could use the existing Wormhoudt design but have Grindline do the construction? I have seen more than a few parks where the designer is not necessarily the builder. Just wondering.
Either way this is fan-freakin-tastic news! My fear was that due to some kind of bullshit Massachusetts union law some local concrete company would get the job and turn a potential skate paradise into a giant hunk of shit.
Just think, if this all goes according to plan, Boston is going to have its own version of Louisville - possibly by next summer!! |
