New skate park is "epic," "world-class"
The Chronicle's Robert Crowe reports that two thirty-somethings are proud of our world-class city:
Standing near the construction site like a couple of eager 13-year-old boys, Jason Kendall and Richard Sellers could not contain their excitement upon glimpsing the epic skate park developing near downtown.
"It's absolutely incredible; it defies description. It has so many features," Kendall, a 37-year-old Houston native, said Wednesday while his buddy used a cell phone to snap photos of the smooth concrete bowls, ramps and pipes.
These old-school skaters, with a sprinkling of gray hair, stopped by the site Wednesday to sneak a peek after hearing that the 30,000-square-foot park, one of the country's largest, is starting to take shape. Houston already has six public skate parks, but the seventh will be in a league all its own.
"I'll be here opening day," said Sellers, 36. "This is world-class without a doubt. ... This is what Houston needs."
This thirty-something is delighted that we have another example of world-classness to share.
