al town under water and tobey pour

Its Friday, have been thinking about skating Al Town all day. I get off work, ride the bike home, get my gear ready, stop for cold beverages on the go, and drive to Al Town. I get to the end of Evelyn and there is not the normal amount of cars parked on the street, in fact there are no cars. I rush of anxiety runs through my body thinking something has shut us down, for  I had been informed earlier that day that city workers had been working in an adjacent lot. I pull my car up and of course, the place is covered in water. It had rained in Mid-Town and Al Town was slightly under the weather to skate at the moment.

So I ventured up to see what these so called City of Memphis workers had been up to. There is a lot that is street level to the south of the Al Town basement which has been covered in something that is a kin to Kudzu. Certain individuals insist that this vine is not "the plant that ate the South" and something else with a prettier name. What ever, I'll call it shit, so the shit is a nuisance and the city workers cleared that whole southern lot of that shit. So much so that you could back a cement truck right over to the top of the south west wall of Al Town. Do you smell what i am stepping in? Is shotcrete out of the question? Its will be hella easier to get concrete to the next theorized project. Back her on up here. It would not be that hard to clear a clean path for a truck. A little hard work, no problem.

So then I jump in my car and turn the corner to see Jenks and Sam hanging out on some neighbors porch. I bet they were bummed but always enjoying life, never the less, I drive on to Tobey park to take a look around.

It looks like all the re-bar is in place and, like Kris Gurley reported, "Ive been to the park twice this week. On Tuesday, Andrew was there finishing up all the metal ledges and last minute coping work. He said that the crew was coming in from DC right after they were done with the Maloof course. "


All I have is pictures, I will not pretend to act like I know anything about building skate parks, because i dont:

Ok, yall have a nice day. Go skate or something. They start shot-crete on Tuesday according to Aaron Shafer.
