The residents got conned thinking they could use these parks when they are nothing more than contaminated land covered by a few inches of topsoil.

I rode by Douglas Park the other day and wondered what all those people that I use to see there on a daily basis are doing now. So, with all those parks closed down, what do our public officials focus on? Eliminating another one! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
