I have been living here for more than two decades. I agree that something should be done to make the lot an usable space, particularly for the families and children living in the neighborhood. Instead of simply using the lot for a single purpose (i.e. skateboarding) I think it would be a better idea to build a multi-purpose playground, where the children could play basketball, soccer, etc. In addition, it would be worthwhile to take into account the demographics of the immediate neighborhood. You'll find that you have asian, african-american and latino families living here, and many of these children are not skateboarders. Before any decision is made, I would urge those involved to get the community on-board. After all, we live here and pay taxes, and our opinion should count for something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-88894225365149036222012-05-07T08:51:55.967-04:002012-05-07T08:51:55.967-04:00Why did that site fail in the past?

Will history repeat itself? <br />Will the county post a link to their .gov website so public can see the view from the cameras that Fairfax gang unit will post for our protection? <br />Build a wall there for graffitti artists to demonstrate their wares, then post photos of them on a dedicated facebook account, or say, AnnandaleGraffittiWall.com and then a different artist oversprays that work of art and gets posted on the website, and people vote for best works. <br />Build a speaker system into the overhead lighting with an outlet at ground level so people can plug their music source into the speakers and play (blast) their personal music from the system while they roll. <br />Location being near VFD is good for handling emergency medical situations that arise.Enrique Mesanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-22734065909566819282012-05-02T23:54:27.859-04:002012-05-02T23:54:27.859-04:00I can not believe that Penny Gross is not strongly...I can not believe that Penny Gross is not strongly for the skate park to help enhance our community. I do not understand who the noise would bother... screaming kids in a playground or the adult day care center where they would probably truly enjoy seeing skateboarders. The article also stated there would be a place for events like "The Taste of Annandale" what could possible be wrong with this project. I agree with David Starr that this would only improve Annandale. We need more people to think out of the box for Annandale and work for the common good.CDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-58638866144369519912012-05-02T22:39:19.036-04:002012-05-02T22:39:19.036-04:00I dare Penny Gross to try to shut this down.I dare Penny Gross to try to shut this down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
