One more pennywise, pound-foolish decision. Really sad. I hope somehow ESL programs can be maintained.

I'm sorry for the impact on neighbors, but it's great to see kids and families having healthy fun downtown. We dragged my 8 year old nephew away from World of War (or whatever) violent videogame he was obsessed with and got him on skates. He was wobbly, but eventually found his legs and had a blast. He asked to come back the next day. I love the rink...only wish it were a little bigger. Thanks, Peets, for the hot chocolate and the free tastes of frozen yogurt from Yogurtagogo. I like this location!
