I think that it would be great if the Park Board looked into this too.

I guess they don't want no noisy brats running around mucking up their Class A office space. > One might argue that we should be doing more of those Minnesota-style > outdoor winter sports.

Not to mention that they close their outdoor facilities when it gets too cold! ;-) Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
