Haven't seen the new parking lot yet. If it's in the pits, it won't be long before the CART guys (or whatever sanction those guys run under now) will come along and drive pipe into the pavement. About 20 of us wrote letters to the Parks and Rec people when that first happened and they blew us off. Then when they wandered down there and LOOKED at the damage they were pretty pissed. But I digress. Those were the salad days of my pure hate for everything related to the Portland Parks and Recreation codes that the city can (or not...based on who they feel) use as loose rules for the lawful use of the park.
Thank you for getting me pissed this early in the day. BTW, somewhere around here, probably with all my other docs from that era, I have all the codes and such that were current at that time regarding use of the park, as that is exactly what it is, a park. Ahhhh, the city of PDX. How have I loathed the these many and long decades of lies.
See, I can wax poetic if the audience can grasp it.
FWIW, I'm going to Renegade tomorrow to meet skrews. Unless it rains.
