List,

Congradualations to Annie Young for stopping the corporatization of our 
parks. . . . . (well, probably not forever, but for now anyway -- which 
is a step forward)

Now, lets come up with some great community-based alternatives.

When I was the director of the Lyndale Neighborhood Association we 
launched the Youth Farm and Market Project to provide meaningful 
employement for neighborhood youth within the context of learning 
employment skills.  There must be a similar opportunity around the 
parks? As the dollars for summer youth employement programs dry up, and 
we start scrambling for meaningful summer opporutnities for our youth, 
would the concessions stand revenue revived be a great suppliment for an 
inspiring initiative?
