Here's to Tearing Down Those Crusty, Rusty Walls!

Sometimes it takes some demolition to get back to those good old days. Nostalgia of how it once was is a good thing. So here is to ripping off the roof, tearing down the walls and digging up the blacktop to discover the good times once again.

It is very easy to drive by and make a comment as to what needs to be done and much more difficult to stop and get out of the car, pick up a shovel and dig in to make a difference. Very easy to remember the good times and hard to face reality. Simple to assume you know what should be done and challenging to commit to doing something.

This morning sharing fond memories, taking one last look at what used to be to tear down some walls - a long time coming. Kudos to all those who did not give up on a dream - to bring back the good times, to bring back a place to be proud of, a place we all can share once again. It is not an easy thing to undertake a mission almost impossible but attainable with some imagination.

Moments captured, history written, doors now opened to a greener future - here is to tearing down those crusty, rusty walls. The Dark Side of the Parkade leaves behind what life support could no longer support and invites life back in.
