In the meantime, congratulations, Venice. You can stand on a skate park nestled in the sand, watch surfers take off at the Breakwater with your right eye, and skaters take off in a bowl through your left. As beautiful thing to behold as the depth of the quiet commitment of many for decades to get the thing built. Ger I Lewis, Heidi Lemmon, Jesse, Melanie Berry, Jeff Ho (who showed up at City Councilman Bill Rosendahl's first post-election meeting to lobby the councilman on it) and countless others who stepped up, kept it pure, we thank you.
