In other news…
CTN will be playing the "Michigan Skatepark Sampler" DVD. This will
help the Ann Arbor community get an idea of what other towns in
Michigan have as far as skatepark facilities. The video is not
comprehensive, it's simply an example of what some other communities
have done. You can see it online at

In our travels, we like to visit other free, public skateparks. We've
been to over 40 across the country in the past few years. Here's one
that I visited this week. It's not necessarily what we want in Ann
Arbor, but it is a PUBLIC, FREE, CONCRETE, (and did I mention) FUN
skatepark. Check it out (you may need to copy and paste the link)…
